Jaxon Heil
High-school sports: Football (strong safety and fullback) and track (100 and 200 meters, and relays).
What I’ve done lately: Was in on seven tackles, including five solo, in last week’s season opener, second on the team.
Grade-point average: .4.15.
Class: Junior.
Why I attend Mullen: It was a great education I could get while playing the sports I love. It’s also the best opportunity for me to go to college and succeed.
The best thing about my sport: In football, I like the brotherhood I build with my teammates. They have my backs and I have theirs through thick and thin.
In my future: Just go to college and to play football and go get a good education. (Will major in mechanical engineering.)
Pre-Game ritual: I like to sit in silence and visualize the event and game, and think about making the big plays or running the races.
Favorite college team: Stanford football.
Why I play: I love competing. My entire life, I’ve grown up around it and competing with my brothers against another team, and just trying to dominate.
