Happy to see Oakton’s Preston Schwartz Preston Schwartz 6'1" | 170 lbs | ATH Oakton | 2026 State VA finish off his high school football career in style, Schwartz earned first team all district honors for his work at defensive back. He too picked up his first offer yesterday from Emory & Henry. On the year he had 6 pass break ups and 2 interceptions, including the one I saw in person that was one of the more athletic plays I have witnessed.

Oakton blanked Edison and I will have other Cougars in my part 2 Game Ball edition later. For now I went with Preston Schwartz Preston Schwartz 6'1" | 170 lbs | ATH Oakton | 2026 State VA who is back healthy and showing what Oakton missed last fall. 7 receptions and over 100 yards receiving in his first game back, he should be a reliable target for Jack Martin Jack Martin 6'0" | 175 lbs | QB Oakton | 2027 State VA all season. People still seem to be sleeping on the Cougars, perhaps it is time to change that tune, they just put up 50 burger on a playoff team.

Speaking of returning healthy, Preston Schwartz Preston Schwartz 6'1" | 170 lbs | ATH Oakton | 2026 State VA is back after only playing in two games due to injury last fall. The Cougars really seemed to hit a wall in his absence especially on offense, getting this sure handed receiver back will only help. He has good hands and is precise route runner, expect him to bounce back in a big way.

30. Preston Schwartz Preston Schwartz 6'1" | 170 lbs | ATH Oakton | 2026 State VA

6’1, 175 pounds. 3.6 GPA. Is a basketball player over at Oakton HS. A junior who is ranked as a Top 450 prospect. Just two games played last Fall due to injury, so unsure how the lack of tape will effect his name ranking.

All of this being said, I came away impressed with how Schwartz operated this past weekend. Soft hands, consistently open for Jack Martin Jack Martin 6'0" | 175 lbs | QB Oakton | 2027 State VA . Schwartz and Deylen Jones Deylen Jones 6'2" | 205 lbs | WR Oakton | 2027 State VA find themselves on this list, easily wowing all scouts who were able to watch the NOVA Jets up close. A little unassuming, yet great burst off the LOS, subtle in and out of his cuts, great understanding of zone defenses too. A great second option in settings like this.

Happy to see Preston Schwartz Preston Schwartz 6'1" | 170 lbs | ATH Oakton | 2026 State VA back out on the gridiron after his junior season came to end early due to injury. Schwartz looked comfortable again at receiver and should play himself into a nice role offensively for the Cougars come fall. Covering the Cougars prior to last season I thought Schwartz was one of their best athletes. Oakton was a play or two away from reaching the playoffs last season and if this kid was healthy I believe they would have gotten their.

Schwartz is an underrated baller who we have profiled before, what I enjoy most about his game is that he goes up against the toughest opponents and wins the majority of his one on one matchups. The Cougars sure do have some nice young talent coming into the fold, that should only benefit this young man.

A tough receiver, what impresses me most about him is that he has no fear of catching the football over the middle. A quick 5’10 155 pound slot type of wideout, Schwartz will also have an impact defensively at free safety. He does not seem to error much on the backside of the Oakton’s defense, either way the young man should be receiving all district honors on both sides this season.
