John Pena brings steady two-way guard production for Northern Colorado
John Pena profiles as a dependable, undersized guard whose value comes from efficient scoring, active playmaking, and disruptive defense: in his career NCAA stats, he has averaged 9.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.5 steals per game, with the steals rate standing out as a real differentiator for a backcourt player.[1][2][8] At 5-10 to 5-11 and around 145 pounds, he plays with a compact frame that suggests quickness and fight over size, and his recruiting history shows he was a legitimate Division I target who also drew interest from Rice, Arizona State, Texas Tech, and Northern Arizona.[4][6][7]
