Across 26 matches Du Preez has built a reputation as a high-volume tackler, averaging close to five tackles per game and contributing consistently across three major competitions.

When called upon to carry, he has shown the capacity to step up, with single-game peaks of 10 carries and 49 metres pointing to genuine physicality in the right conditions.
