Mason Heintschel is an American football quarterback for the Pittsburgh Panthers.
Early life and high school
[edit]
Heintschel attended high school at Clay located in Oregon, Ohio. During his high school career he accounted for 8,876 yards in total offense and 102 touchdowns. Coming out of high school, Heintschel was rated as a three-star recruit, and the 44th overall quarterback in the class of 2025, where he committed to play college football for the Pittsburgh Panthers over offers from other schools such Ohio, Coastal Carolina, and Liberty.[1][2]
He entered his true freshman season in 2025 competing for the backup quarterback job with Cole Gonzales.[3][4] In week one of the 2025 season, Heintschel made his collegiate debut, completing three of his four pass attempts for 36 yards in a win over Duquesne.[5] Heading into their week six matchup, Heintschel was named the team’s starting quarterback after struggles from Eli Holstein.[6]
His father, Eric Heintschel, formerly played baseball for the Michigan Wolverines.[7]
