Commitment #4 for class of 2015. Ashton Preston from Edmond, Ok. A 3-star DB on scout. Solid size for a corner at a Sparq verified 5'11" 179 lbs and has solid speed. Hopefully he can have a big senior year and we can hold on to him.

GMG!!

According to the ESPN site Notre Dame offered him. Hmmm ... I think I'll believe Vito rather than ESPN. Glad he committed to us now because I think he would've got a lot of interest from other schools very soon.

Really glad to have him aboard.

[GMG24]

He'll still get plenty of interest just like Goree maybe even a few more offers.

Suck it Notre Dame.

More like Notre Lame

He visited Notre Dame. It was clearly incorrectly reported as an offer. He himself even said we were his first offer when we offered. Louisville showed a lot of interest and Louisville insiders even thought there was a good enough chance that they might offer that they predicted him to Louisville on 247. Kid is very talented, has good size, and as a result he has been receiving a lot of big school attention. Even visited Texas down in Austin.

Just like Rodney Bendy, our first commit, Preston has the size and skill set but has yet to have great on-field production. Both could end up being great steals if we could hold onto them, and I hope we do.

Great pickup for the Mean Green!

It's just a verbal.

He could wind up with a big year and more offers.

As could the commits to other schools that everyone is wringing their hands over losing. Welcome Ashton. I think this one, as well as all the others, sticks with us.

[North Texas Shep]

Love it! We are on a roll. Last two players we got commits from, could be 1st year contributors.

My fault for implying otherwise, which is not what I meant.

I was responding to a post above that implies he somehow will not receive interest because of this verbal.
