Expert Analysis

Preston Atwood Preston Atwood 6'1" | 250 lbs | DL Westwood | 2026 State AZ brings a combination of brute strength and surprising quickness that makes him a tough assignment for any offensive lineman. He gets off the ball fast and uses that initial burst to either gain leverage or force a reaction, and then he’s quick to counter that. Whether he’s facing a pass set or someone firing off for a run play, he has a good sense of timing and uses his hands well to fight through contact. Atwood’s motor stands out — he doesn’t give up on plays, even when doubled, and his ability to stay low and drive through contact allows him to keep pressing the pocket or crash down and disrupt the backfield. You can tell he’s comfortable in the trenches and embraces the physicality that comes with it.

Read EvaluationJordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Solid interior defensive lineman with a good combination of strength and speed. At 6’1” 230 lbs. he currently has the frame built for a LB but turn on the tape and watch how impactful he is on the DL. He’s got a quick first off the LOS to establish positional leverage and gain penetration on the snap. He plays with leverage and is strong at the POA. Great ability to disengage from blockers and locate the ball. He’s relentless in pursuit and chases hard showing he can work laterally down the line to close space. He’s a forceful defender and aggressive body tackler that drives through contact to finish ball carriers to the ground. Could turn into a quality recruit if he can continue to add mass to his frame.
