Scotty Presson Jr. is Illinois State’s trusted lead-blocker with sneaky third-down value
In the 2024 season, Scotty Presson Jr. played all 14 games as Illinois State’s primary fullback/H-back, helping pave the way for a rushing attack led by Wenkers Wright’s 1,123 yards, and he also added 11 catches for 121 yards. In the 2025 season, his role expanded again, with reports calling him a second-team All-Missouri Valley Conference fullback and a go-to option on third downs, including 19 catches and his first career touchdown. At 6-foot-3 and around 230-240 pounds, he brings size, toughness, and reliability—exactly the kind of selfless, physical glue guy coaches love.
