Hyrum Peters was a tackle-hunting, playmaking safety for Hawaiʻi
In the 2003 season, Hyrum Peters stood out as a physical, instinctive defensive back who had already piled up 296 career tackles at Hawaiʻi and previously posted 4 interceptions in 2003 preview coverage—rare ball production for a safety with linebacker-like run support. He was described as a defender who could cover the third receiver or jump into the box as an extra run stopper, which makes him the kind of versatile DB coaches love to plug into multiple roles.
