CELESTE, Texas -- Jaxson Crossland is good at a lot of things like boxing, fishing and riding his dirt bike. But this 8-year-old also rocks a serious mullet.
The third grader from Celeste, Texas, recently took first place for best mullet in the kids category at the USA Mullet Championships. His prize was $500.
"Jax has been just ecstatic since winning. It's been so great to be able to enter him into something that celebrates what makes him different," Zoie Shepard, his mom, told CNN. "It's been so awesome for Jax, people recognize him everywhere now."
Children from across the country submitted photos of their mullets, ranging from Jaxson's curly mullet to the freedom flapper, modern mullet and Tennessee top hat. (Yes, these are all different types of mullets)
