Heck saw action on both sides of the trench as a Sioux City West sophomore in 2025. On defense, he chipped in five tackles, four of which were solo. Heck added a tackle for loss and a sack. He also flashed potential on the offensive front, as we can witness when watching his 10th-grade highlight video. On the D-Line, he is fast off of the snap operating from the interior. That early engagements lead to a leverage advantage he can then exploit thanks to his strength and active hands. Heck is slick in space, smoothly moving around his size with fluid footwork, which shines through on the O-Line, too. On that side of the ball, he mauls guys in close quarters and is agile enough to pick them off in space as he climbs levels. Heck started his varsity career on solid ground with a chance to build upon it. He’s one to watch in 2026, no doubt about it.
