Expert Analysis
Paul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Hewitt is one of the more underrated backs in the state of California and is a natural ball carrier and a physical runner that looks for contact in the hole and is tough to bring down once he gets going. He runs well behind his pads with natural forward lean and leg drive through contact while showing he can make defenders miss in the hole and bounce off arm and ankle tackles with these. Hewitt excels both when running inside the tackles or when bouncing it outside, and is a no-brainer next level prospect that fits the ideal mold of a bigger back that is very fluid and light on his feet with the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield as well.

Read EvaluationJordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Hewitt was a two-way standout at Birmingham before transferring to Westlake for his junior season. At 6’0” 215 lbs. he’s got a strong and well-built frame that could transition well to multiple positions at the college level. At RB, he’s a violent downhill runner with great balance and leg drive at the POA to break tackles and extend gains beyond first contact. Plus field vision and patience to allow the play to develop while reading his blocks to find an open running lane. Like his change of direction and short area acceleration to be an effective ball carrier both between the tackles and to the perimeter. Voted 2026 First Team All-State by Cal-Hi Sports after rushing for 1,400 yards and 16 touchdowns on 215 carries as a sophomore. One of PRZ top ranked 2026 prospects without an offer.
