As the 2025 high school football season approaches, one name is already turning heads at Episcopal High School—Caleb Prestwood, a 5’9″, 172-pound freshman running back from the Class of 2029. Despite his youth, Prestwood’s physicality, football IQ, and maturity beyond his years have coaches and fans buzzing about his potential varsity debut this fall.
“I’m excited and ready,” Prestwood says with quiet confidence. “I’ve been preparing for this moment and I feel good about going far from home if that’s what the future holds.”
That future is already taking shape. Prestwood has EXPRESSED early interest IN college programs like Oregon and Boston College, schools known for producing elite running backs and explosive offenses. And it’s no surprise. Prestwood brings a rare blend of vision, speed, strength, and perhaps most importantly—versatility.
“I’m a fast learner,” he adds. “I can adapt, read defenses, and make decisions quickly. That’s what makes me dynamic.”
On the field, Prestwood models his game after one of the most electrifying backs in recent college football history—De’Anthony Thomas. Like his idol, Prestwood possesses game-breaking speed and the ability to turn any play into a highlight. But it’s his balance of instincts and intelligence that sets him apart from most freshmen.
“He has the total package,” one AREA SCOUT remarked during summer 7v7 session. “He definitely looks the part and passes the eye test now has to showcase it on Friday nights”
Though the road ahead is just beginning, Prestwood is already showing the mindset and work ethic of a future star. With his willingness to compete at the highest level and his openness to new environments, it’s clear—Caleb Prestwood isn’t just looking to make the team—he’s aiming to make a legacy.
