Career
Youth and college
Prior to college soccer, Gutman played high school soccer for one season at Hinsdale Central High School before joining the Chicago Fire's youth academy for his sophomore through senior years of high school.

Ahead of the 2015 NCAA Division I men's soccer season, Gutman signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Indiana Hoosiers men's soccer program. He immersed himself as an immediate starter with the program starting in all 21 matches for the Hoosiers during the 2015 season. He finished his freshman year by being named to the Big Ten All-Second Team, the Big Ten All-Freshman Team, and the NSCAA All-Midwest Regional team. He finished his freshman season with one goal and one assist. Gutman remained a regular starter for the Hoosiers entering his sophomore season, where he made 21 appearances. He led the team in assists his sophomore year with three, and scored once. Following the conclusion of the 2016 season, he was named to the Big Ten second-team, and to the all-Midwest NSCAA team.

It was speculated that Gutman might forgo his last two seasons of collegiate eligibility and sign a contract with Chicago Fire. However, Todd Yeagley confirmed in July that Gutman would be returning to Indiana for his junior year. During his third year with the Hoosiers, he picked up several conference, regional, and national honors. During the season, he scored seven goals and dished out four assists, to have 18 total points. His honors his junior included being named a second-team All-American by United Soccer Coaches and CollegeSoccerNews.com. Gutman was named a third-team All-American by TopDr
