Early years
Preston may have been born and raised in Australia, but he grew up with a large aspiration to become a top flight player within the International Simulation Football League. His years of expereince playing Aussie Rules football trained himself to have a fierecely powerful and accurate leg. When he moved to America to try and kickstart a career in American Football, it was this leg that set him apart from other potential future athletes. Preston was much more expereinced and trained due to his time in Australia which saw him easily weave his way into a repitable high school football team as both the kicker and punter. His ability to perform in stressful moments when the play breaks down was his specialty, his Aussie Rules background allowing him not only to remain as accurate and powerful whilst on the move, but gave him the ability to even make runs on fake attempts. It was not long before Preston found himself going towards College and fielding multiple offers and paid scholarships to further his life's goal.
College career
After the long and tough decision of picking his college, Preston finally took his craft to Clemson, doning the orange uniform with pride to show that he was the real deal and get to the next level. The college career of Beatz started rough, missing as 32 yard field goal in his first game in perfect conditions, then failing to convert an extra point that saw the game move to overtime. He showed his expereince and ability to perform in the clutch, slotting a 54 yard field goal in overtime to win the game and redeem himself. Over the course of the next 4 years, Beatz managed to increased both his field goal range and accuracy, but in a surprising twist, saw himself playing as a wildcard quarterback at times, showing decent promise with his high intellect and game awareness, with an arm throwing balls as strong as his legs kicked them. Going into the ISFL draft, niether Beatz nor teams that have reacahed out during the scouting process, know what his going to be his true position, Kicker or Quarterback.

DSFL
Season 36 Preston Beatz had an up and down season after being drafted to the Grey Ducks in the second round of the draft. This appeared immensely high despite Beatz’s raw talent due to him occupying the Kicker/Punter role for almost all of the season. In week 16 however, we saw what the organisation was doing, rolling out Beatz for his first official game as a Quarterback in the DSFL. It seems with Farrell leaving to the big leagues for next season, the team prepared to have Beatz swap into the position late in the season to allow him full growth in the position. Throughout the season however, Beatz made all of his extra point attempts whilst having 80% of his 20 field goals be successful. Not as good a punter as kicker, Beatz finished the season averaging 44.8 yards on his 36 punts, with 14, just under 40%, of his punts being inside the 20’s.
