Matt Hewitt appears to be switching from defense to offense on the Rutgers football staff. The move is another sign of Hewitt’s versatility as a coach.
In an update to his social media profile this week, Hewitt is now the offensive quality control/assistant tight ends coach.
Hewitt is one of the longest-tenured members of the coaching and support staff, having joined Rutgers in 2017 under then-head coach Chris Ash. Last season, he was elevated from being the assistant director of recruiting to being a defensive assistant.
From Englewood, N.J., Hewitt was a safety in college at Arkansas where he was Second-Team All-SEC by the Associated Press as a senior.
Regarded highly for his football knowledge but also for his work ethic, Heiwtt is routinely praised by recruits.
On Friday, Nas Jones joined the Rutgers coaching staff, becoming an assistant safeties coach after spending the past year in player development with the Scarlet Knights.
