Preston Cushman is UCF’s steady, snap-eating right tackle heading into 2026
In the 2025 season, Preston Cushman started all 12 games at right tackle for UCF and logged a team-high 753 snaps, a sign of durability and trust in the trenches. He isn’t just a space-filler: UCF said he was part of a Big 12 Offensive Line of the Week unit that allowed zero sacks vs. North Carolina, and he graded as the Knights’ fourth-best offensive lineman with a 63.1 PFF mark. The fit? He looks like a reliable, experienced lead-blocker type with leadership upside—exactly the sort of lineman coaches love when they want the edge protected and the room stabilized.
