Chris Hewitt Jr. got an offer from Rutgers football over the weekend, putting Rutgers as the first offer for the eighth-grader. His connections to the program certainly run deep to say the least.
His father was a former assistant at Rutgers and his uncle is Matt Hewitt, who is currently the assistant safeties coach at Rutgers (and got a ton of love from Saturday’s camp, with several Holy Trinity players underscoring his coaching style).
Chris tweeted about the offer following the Rutgers football camp, where he earned the offer:
After an amazing camp and great conversation with @GregSchiano. I am blessed to say I have just received my first offer from Rutgers University! @RFootball pic.twitter.com/J0gP6xLLXX

The 5-foot-11, 175-pound defensive back looks like a chip off the family block. His father, Chris Hewitt Sr., is currently the secondary coach with the Baltimore Ravens and was a former NFL defensive back with the New Orleans Saints. His uncle was a standout safety at Arkansas.
