Jarrod Hewitt, a powerful defensive tackle prospect out of Venice (Fla.) High who came forward and made a commitment to Kyle Flood and Rutgers in mid-June, opted to reopen his recruitment on Tuesday morning and released a statement on Twitter.

In addition to the Scarlet Knights, the 6-foot-2, 285-pound Hewitt holds a bulk of scholarship offers from the likes of Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh, UCF, Indiana, South Florida, Western Kentucky and Florida Atlantic.

One program out of the ACC that's been in the thick of Hewitt's recruitment for quite sometime is the Virginia Tech Hokies, who are set to roll out the red carpet and play host to the Florida native.

"I'm actually going to be up there next week for the NC State game," Hewitt said. "I'm hoping to schedule an official when I'm up there."

Hewitt shows good use of hands when disengaging off blocks to find the football, and is relentless and powerful when busting through the line of scrimmage as well. This standout out of Sarasota County is strong as an ox and brings a workmanlike approach to his team's locker room.

Through five games for the 5-0 Indians, Hewitt has 48 tackles (30 solo), seven sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and a pass deflection.
