A former Saint James (Louisiana) High School standout, Preston was a sought-after prospect in the Class of 2022. On the 247Sports Composite, Preston was rated 4-stars, the No. 5 player in Louisiana, No. 8 wide receiver and No. 56 prospect overall in the class. Preston signed with Alabama over Texas, USC and others.
Preston’s high recruiting ranking did not translate to an instant impact in the SEC. According to his Alabama bio, Preston (6-feet, 202 pounds) did not record any offensive statistics in his two seasons with the Crimson Tide.
Preston is listed as a participant in 5 games each season. His fifth game for the 2022 was the Sugar Bowl against Kansas State, allowing him to take a redshirt. He will be considered a redshirt sophomore in 2024 with three full remaining seasons of eligibility.
