STAR ATHLETE, COACH, MOLDER OF MEN
Carl Preston is remembered in a scholarship fund bearing his name
Family and friends of the late Carl Preston
have created an endowment fund to honor
the memory of one of UAM’s most beloved
athletes and coaches. A $5,000 gift was
recently presented to the UAM Foundation
Fund to establish the Carl Preston Award.
When the endowment reaches $15,000
in contributions, it will become the Carl
Preston Endowed Scholarship and will be
presented annually to a full-time student
of any academic major, with first preference
given to members of the Boll Weevil
baseball team and second preference to
members of the football team. Anyone
interested in contributing to the Carl
Preston Endowment Fund should contact
Jay Jones, interim vice chancellor for advancement
and university relations, at (870)
460-1022. Carl Preston is a member of the
UAM Sports Hall of Fame after a standout
career as a member of three conference
championship football teams in 1957, ‘58,
and ‘63. He was offensive line coach and
head baseball coach, winning a league
baseball title in 1993.
