Boston College Football Locks Up ’26 Five Star Kicker Jonathan Hewitt

The Boston College Eagles’ football program has officially locked up its kicker of the future.

Late on Monday, 2026 Eaton High School (Eaton, Ohio) kicker Jonathan Hewitt announced his decision to commit to BC, a week after taking an official visit to Chestnut Hill, Mass. Hewitt announced the decision on his personal X account.

The connection between the Eagles and Hewitt started back on April 7, when the five-star special teams prospect took an initial visit to BC’s campus. Hewitt took an “official” visit to the University on Friday, June 13, a day prior to announcing his offer.

As a sophomore, the right-footed kicker made 10 of 14 attempted field goals and 39 of 40 extra points. Hewitt averaged 36 yards per punt on 20 punt attempts, nailing four inside the 20-yard line.

Hewitt is a five-star kicker prospect, according to Kohl’s Professional Camps, and received a 4.5-star rating as a punter. He competed at Kohl’s Underclassman Challenge in Jan. 2025, where he scored 16 points on field goals and 104.85 points on kickoffs. At the National Scholarship Camp in July 2024, Hewitt scored 33 out of 36 possible points on field goals.

With a 6-foot-3, 178-pound frame, Hewitt is also a two-time first-team All-Ohio player.

Hewitt made additional visits to top-tier, power-four conference football programs—such as Ohio State, Illinois, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Indiana—but ultimately chose BC as his next destination.

Hewitt is the 17th commit in the Eagles’ ‘26 recruiting class, which has consistently ranked inside the top-25 nationally on 247Sports. Currently, Bill O’Brien’s 2026 class has a rating of No. 30 nationally.
