Preston Carey got his first offer from LSU last month, Preston Carey has gotten offers from some of the top teams in the country. For the soon-to-be high school freshman, it is a recruitment that likely isn’t going to slow down anytime soon.
The Long Island defensive lineman saw his latest offer come in late June from Rutgers.
The class of 2026 defensive lineman, a 15-year-old, is an impressive 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds. He is a physically developed athlete who looks like he could handle snaps in the Big Ten right now.
Carey is part of a strong talent influx in Long Island. Dylan Braithwaite and Ian Strong, both Rutgers football commits, are from Long Island. Four-star defensive back Josiah Brown and linebacker Nick Parisi, both class of 2024 recruits, are a big part of the emerging talent in Long Island.
Two weeks ago, Carey was named the Day 2 MVP at the Football University camp in New Jersey. He turned 15-years old this spring.

But you know, it’s really been a struggle. My dad’s been struggling to get me to these camps. And we’ve only been able to go to so many but you know, I really want to play in the NFL and play DI so when these coaches reach out and it is a drivable distances like 10 hours away as Michigan, we had to go and I was going to perform our best and that’s what I did.
“But overall, Michigan was amazing. You know, I love the coaches. I love Coach Elston (Mike Elston, defensive line coach), he’s a great D-line coach and I was going against great competition. I was going against juniors, seniors, and I was putting out my best I was beating them and I’m only in eighth grade. So I’m only going to get better and the goal is ultimately to be a five-star.”
