Waukee (IA) Northwest High School quarterback Mack Heitland announced his commitment to Western Illinois on Tuesday. “The coaching staff and how invested the community is in football are what led me to commit to Western Illinois. I loved the coaching staff and Coach Davis (head coach Joe Davis) a ton, and I am super excited to get to play for them. I also really liked how the community loves the football program and how much they contribute to it,” Heitland said. He received an offer from the Leathernecks on April 2, after he spoke with Davis. “Coach Davis called me and told me that they loved my film and how I played. He loved that I was a multi-sport athlete and told me to keep enjoying every sport. It was a great phone call, and I really enjoyed talking with him. He’s an awesome person and coach, and he always brings a ton of energy." I'm excited to announce my commitment to Western Illinois University!!! I would like to thank my family, friends, coaches, and everyone who has helped me reach my goals!!…
