Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
Heitland took a step forward in his development last season, contributing important plays and, perhaps, foreshadowing a breakout coming in 2025. As a sophomore last season, Heitland came up with 28 catches for 293 yards and a pair of scores. He carried the ball four times for 31 yards. He added a couple of tackles, including one of the solo variety. Heitland’s 10th-grade highlight video shows us how he gets the job done. A versatile receiver, he runs crisp routes and is capable of beating defenders over the top or across the middle. He makes people miss in space. A quick-twitch athlete, Heitland’s skill set works on defense and special teams, too.

Heitland being listed as a “football player” would be as fitting as labeling him an “athlete.” He’s a menace with the ball in his hands when given the slightest bit of space. His sharp cutting and ability to accelerate quickly makes him difficult to tackle. He can be moved around the formation, creating mismatches with the opponent. Heitland’s physicality and athleticism at receiver could work in the secondary as well.
