A 1982 graduate of Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, Pressler was a four-year starter for both the football and lacrosse teams. A member of the school's Hall of Fame, Pressler served as team captain for both sports as a senior. In lacrosse, Pressler started each of his first years on attach, scoring 59 points on 22 goals and 37 assists.
