Preston Barclay

My name is Preston Barclay and I’m currently a sophomore in the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. I’m from the Boston area and a huge sports fan, especially baseball, and currently play for the club team as an infielder and pitcher. I have written for several student newspapers, serving as the sports editor for my high school paper as well as a women’s basketball beat writer, baseball columnist, and editor for The Hoya in college. I'm also a brother in the Omega Lambda chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi, while also co-host of WGTB radio show "The Morning After" at Georgetown that airs Saturdays from noon to 1 pm on georgetownradio.com. Otherwise, I always have an opinion I’d like to share and I hope that someday I can have a say in the front office of a professional sports franchise. Aside from sports, I also enjoy politics (somewhat) and living the life of a college student (most definitely).
