Jason Preston (born August 10, 1999) is an American college basketball player for the Mid-American Conference's Ohio Bobcats (MAC). Preston played basketball for William R. Boone High School in Orlando, Florida, for two years, averaging two points per game. He then moved to Canada and spent one season at Montverde Academy in Melbourne, Florida, before deciding to attend the University of Central Florida. He chose UCF over offers from Kentucky, North Carolina, and Virginia. As a freshman at UCF in 2019-20, he was named to the All-America First Team by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. Preston has been compared to former UCF star Chris Paul due to their similar games and body types. He also draws comparisons to former Louisville Cardinal Kevin Ware because of his ability to create offense for himself and others. Preston originally planned to spend one year at UCF before entering the 2020 NBA Draft. However, he withdrew from that year's draft to return to UCF for his sophomore season. He currently plays point guard for the UCF Knights.
