Antwan Peek Jr. brings playmaking heat to Cincinnati’s defense
Peek Jr. has emerged as one of Cincinnati’s most disruptive defenders, piling up 59 tackles in the 2025 season with one sack, three forced fumbles, and a Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist nod[6][7][14]. A former walk-on and the son of a Bearcats standout, he stands out for his instincts, toughness, and knack for creating chaos at the ball—traits that translate well for a team needing a physical, high-motor linebacker who can impact games beyond the box score[1][6][8].
