is a good offensive lineman who has a great combination of strength and footwork. He played as an interior offensive lineman who played as a guard last year. He has visited a ton of places, but currently has no offers, which is surprising to me. Bernard is a good offensive lineman prospect who has excellent ability. I think eventually, this off-season, he should earn an offer. Bernard is a talented offensive lineman who should end up playing College Football in the future.

is one of the better interior offensive linemen in the 2027 class. His ability to fire off the ball is excellent. He has good fundamentals, and his stance and start are good. I love the way he attacks the defense. He is always driving them off the ball. He is good as a combo blocker. He double-teamed a defensive tackle and then drove them into the linebacker. He is also excellent at pulling and kicking out defenders. Bernard is a talented player who should only grow as a player over the next few years.
Sophomore Year Highlights.

is an old school guard, on film he just moves people around. He’s quick on pulls and kick outs and throws his shoulder on double teams. Bernard has a pedigree and he makes it known when he has a clip or a good play against another highly touted player. Bernard plays at the right guard spot facing some of the highest competition in the state at the high school level. In the pass game he’s always searching trying to knock someone flat over if he isn’t covered. If he is in a 1on1 situation in pass protection he clamps on immediately and uses the chest plate of defenders as a steering wheel.

played all 10 games at right guard for Haverford School. For a Freshman, he played at a high level. His film shows him doing a ton of different types of blocks. He showed good skill in blocking in the interior, pull, double team, screens, reach blocks, and many other types of blocks. Bernard showed he is a good athlete by going to the next level and chasing linebackers. He also showed he was a good athlete by running downfield on blocking schemes and blocking out in front of screens. Bernard is a talented lineman and the sky’s the limit for him.

‘s good reps were some of, if not the, best reps at camp. In limited reps, showed an incredibly strong upper body and was solid fundamentally in his lower half. Once he got good hand placement on a Defensive Linemen, the rep was won. Bernard did a great job of getting into a winning position and keeping himself there. To get nit-picky, he did have a more difficult time against some of the longer Defensive Linemen who extended their arms well. That said, he was the second best Offensive Linemen there. Played a strong, physical and dominant style of ball–all while not saying a single word. Coach’s dream right there.

Preston is already a big-time two-way lineman coming out of Pennsylvania. With him already getting looks from schools like Temple, which happens to be where his father played his collegiate ball, you know this kid is different. His film does more than confirm that. In the run game, Preston is a nasty run blocker who plays low and has no problem driving his opponents into the dirt. He seems to have a great understanding of leverage in the run game as he opens up lanes for the ball carriers following his lead. In pass protection, Preston is very patient with his technique, so one he makes contact with a defensive linemen, they are not going to be getting anywhere near the quarterback if Preston can help it. Preston’s highlight tape was a lot of fun to watch and I am excited to see where football takes him in the future.
