American Heritage coach Patrick Surtain knows what it takes to succeed at the highest levels from his time as an NFL star. That’s why it speaks volumes when he gushes about Brandon Inniss’ dedication to winning. The star receiver was thrust into action at quarterback in 2021. But Surtain said Inniss took the move in stride. “He’s a selfless guy,” Surtain said. “He said, ‘Coach, I want to do it.’ [Not] like, ‘Oh, I’m the No. 1 receiver in the country. No, I’m staying at receiver.’ He said, ‘Coach, whatever I’ve got to do for the team, I’m here for.’ He relished that role. He got it and studied. He called me at late hours, ‘Coach, what do I do on this and that?’ That’s what kind of football player he is, and that’s what kind of person he is.” Inniss was committed to Oklahoma at one point in the recruiting process. He plans on majoring in business in college. His parents are Dayne Inniss and Amy Flinton.
