Mike Heflin said his son became known as an impact player while at Wayne County High.
Taylor Heflin was a four-year varsity performer and three-year starter at linebacker for Wayne County, which reached the Sweet 16 of the Georgia AAAA state playoffs his junior year and advanced all the way to the Final Four when he was a senior. The hard-hitting linebacker led the team in tackles and was an honorable mention All-State selection seasons.
So Mike Heflin wasn’t at all surprised with what he saw at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on Sept. 8. Taylor Heflin was a force to be reckoned with during Navy’s American Athletic Conference opener against Memphis, recording seven tackles while also coming up with a huge sack and crucial fumble recovery.
