Ball-hawking CCSU corner with production and film-room savvy
In the 2025 season, Dekavis Preston was an active cornerback for Central Connecticut State, posting 25 tackles, 6 passes defended, and 1 interception, which points to a player who can stay involved and make quarterbacks pay for mistakes.[1] Beyond the box score, his self-described strengths are coverage ability, zone awareness, and film study, traits that suggest a smart, assignment-sound defender rather than a pure gamble-heavy playmaker.[7] For a team, that profile fits a defense that values reliability, eyes, and disciplined coverage over flashy risk-taking.[1][7]
