TAKE 5: Heath Grant Keeps Willis In The Fast Lane
WILLIS HIGH SCHOOL KEEPS CRANKING OUT STARS.
Former QB DJ Lagway was the Gatorade Player of the Year in football and now starts for the Florida Gators. Junior Jermaine Bishop Jr. is ranked the No. 3 athlete in the Class of 2026. Lefty Maddox Keo is spinning it on the mound for Rice Baseball.
And now? It’s Heath Grant’s time to shine. The senior track star is putting Willis on the national radar. And the best part? He doesn’t even have to change his wardrobe.
“I feel like I really put in the work and earned my scholarship to Kansas State,” Grant said. “The facilities are amazing, and I get to keep my school colors. I’m really looking forward to it.”
VYPE’s Matt Malatesta caught up with the Big Man on Campus at Willis for our TAKE 5 feature.
…
VYPE: You could’ve played any sport… why track?
GRANT: I played Little League football like everybody else. I was fast, had great stamina, but I wanted to do something different. Track called me. It’s a tough mentality—there’s no hiding. You have to train consistently, even when you don’t feel like it. That’s the only way to become elite.
VYPE: What’s on your playlist before a race?
GRANT: Juice WRLD. Anything by him gets me hyped. That’s my go-to.
VYPE: What are your goals for 2025?
GRANT: I’m chasing a low 1:46 in the 800 meters, :45 in the 400, and :24.5 in the 200. The 800 is what I’m going to college for, and it’s an insanely tough race. Sometimes I’m just praying to make it to the finish line. I feel like everyone wants to beat me now. They see me as the top dog, so I can’t let my guard down.
VYPE: Who do you love watching on the track?
GRANT: My two favorites are Auhmad Robinson from Texas A&M and Grant Holloway, the Olympic hurdler. I don’t run their events, but I love how they approach the sport. I’ve got Olympic dreams too, so I have to stay locked in—like them. At the end of the day, it’s all in God’s hands.
VYPE: How do you unwind?
GRANT: I like messing around with other sports—throwing the football or playing basketball for fun. Other than that, I’m pretty chill. I hang out with friends, listen to music… just enjoy the downtime.
