Preston Bonn is forcing his way into NC State’s catching picture
In 2026, Preston Bonn has gone from little-used redshirt freshman to an emerging power threat behind the plate, punctuated by a 3-for-3, two-homer, five-RBI breakout against Lafayette. He stands out for carrying real catch-and-throw value with offense upside: NC State and 247Sports noted his strong defensive work, including a 1.000 fielding percentage early in the season and 10 putouts in that game. For a team, he looks like a high-upside catcher if you want power, intensity, and a player whose bat can change a game.
