Preston Fowler, a 6’8 prospect who is part of the Class of 2025, has been popping up a lot more in the news with everything going on his way. Whether it was his recent offers, his recruitment, his play this summer, or his recent transfer to Brewster Academy, Fowler certainly has been a hot topic.

He speaks about his most recent offer from Penn State, who else has been staying strong, where he may want to visit, and his excitement about playing at Brewster Academy this upcoming season.
Phenom: How did everything go this summer for you' What were you looking to show more of and what were you able to take away'
Fowler: Everything this summer went very well. Something I was looking forward to showing was just being able to showcase my abilities to be an all-around ball player. I don’t pride myself on one category of the game, but if I did, I would say just being able to make shots, being very efficient, and how hard I play. Something I was able to take away is I was just very proud of myself and the summer I had, and it only makes me want to keep working harder to be the best player, teammate, and player I can be.
Phenom: What did you want to show more about your game and how would you best describe it'
