, and I am shocked that he hasn’t been getting the shine he should have. He has been getting the job done at MLB for a solid Gladwin program for a few years now. He has good size, he’s physical and plays like a madman. Even when he plays on offense, he seeks out contact and loves to run people over. Defensively, he has good reaction time, flies to the spot and typically lays a big time hit. More often than not, he is shooting the gap before the play gets going and the blocking has time to take shape. Willert is truly a star at stuffing that inside run. Though Gladwin isn’t at the highest of highs like they were a couple of seasons ago, they are still a very well run and well coached program with guys like Preston all over the roster. You absolutely will not be able to ignore him this fall.
Preston is a hidden gem that I think could be uncovered if he gets to some camps this offseason. He plays in control, but like his hair is on fire. When I watched him, he showed he had the mental side of it down as he diagnosed plays quickly and took good angles. He also started to show some physicality, especially as the game wore on he was starting to lay some big time hits. He will need to continue to push it in the weight room, but he is on a fantastic trajectory right now.
