Preston Pruitt Preston Pruitt 6'0" | 170 lbs | DB SouthLake Christian Academy | 2027 State NC is a defensive back I had the opportunity to see a couple of times during the spring, and his approach to the game immediately stood out. Pruitt is a serious, focused competitor who brings a high level of concentration to every rep. Physically, his length is one of his best attributes, with long arms that help him disrupt throwing windows and compete at the catch point. He moves well in coverage, has natural instincts for the position, and consistently puts himself around the football. Pruitt has the look of a natural playmaker in the secondary, and his combination of length, focus, and coverage ability makes him an intriguing 2027 prospect heading into his senior season.

Pruitt had a strong year last season, earning a Denison offer this June. He’ll be a key part of what could be the deepest SouthLake Christian defense in years, and we think he could put together a huge season from his safety position.
