Blue-Collar Interior Enforcer Who Brought Juice to Virginia Tech’s Front
In the 2020 season, Hewitt was an All-ACC defensive lineman for Virginia Tech, finishing with 31 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks in 11 games, which tells you he could create disruption as an interior rusher[2]. What made him stand out beyond the box score was the consistent praise for his improved quickness, strength, and conditioning, plus a reputation as a hard-hat, high-motor teammate who flashed big-play juice when the Hokies needed it most[2][9].
