I am a member of common ground, Mercer math, and the Society for Collegiate Journalists (SCJ). I am a contributor for the Cluster.

HC: What is one word that describes you?
Alex: Awesomazing.

HC: Name a song that could be your theme song.

Alex has distinct plans for his life after his Mercer tenure is up. “I’m looking at a graduate program at Florida State University in dance. My ultimate goal is to dance on Broadway,” explained Preston.
This Mercer player has a definite penchant for the theater arts. He was even cast in the Atlanta Theater Company’s production of Lyric but had to decline the part because of school obligations.
It is obvious that Alex is well on his way to fame, but until then he will be about the campus representing excellence at Mercer. Go Bears!
