veteran Leatherneck edge presence with proven backfield disruption
Eryk Preston brings real value as a seasoned Western Illinois defensive front player with captain-level credibility, having earned honorable mention All-MVFC recognition in the 2021 spring season after posting 14 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, a pass breakup, a quarterback hit, and a forced fumble. He stands out for his length, experience, and disruptive burst off the edge, plus the kind of leadership coaches lean on when the room needs a tone-setter. If a team wants a battle-tested DL who can pressure the quarterback and set an intense standard, Preston checks a lot of boxes.
