Preston Ashley brings juice, versatility, and early-impact upside to Colorado’s secondary
Ashley arrived in Boulder as a highly regarded defensive back and has already drawn praise in spring practice for being energetic, vocal, competitive, and fast-learning[4][7]. In his senior 2025 season at Brandon High School, he posted 37 solo tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, six passes defended, one sack, and one interception, showing he can help in run support and coverage[6]. Recruiting services viewed him as a top-25-ish cornerback/safety type nationally, which fits a player with a knack for physicality and versatility rather than just ball production[3][8][13]. If a team wants a feisty, high-motor secondary piece with room to grow, he’s absolutely worth caring about[4][7].
