Hewitt is a product of Eaton High School in Eaton, Ohio. In 2023, he made 10 of 14 attempted field goals and 39 of 40 extra point attempts. He also had 20 punts, averaged 36 yards per punt, and nailed four inside the 20-yard line. 

During his high school career, he has been named a Kohl’s All-American and two-time First-Team All-Ohio.

He has been a target for the Eagles in recent months as the prospect took a visit to Chestnut Hill on April 7 and had an official visit on Friday. Boston College special teams coordinator Matt Thurin also visited Hewitt back in January.
