Jaxon Peifer brings proven tackling production and disruptive LB instincts to Valpo
In the 2021 season, Jaxon Peifer showed up as a high-volume, do-it-all linebacker for Valparaiso, posting 60 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, three pass breakups, and a QB hurry in just seven games; Valpo’s 2025 stat-leader notes also list him among the team’s returning tackling leaders with 41 total tackles[5][2]. The differentiator is his impact beyond clean-up stops: he flashes backfield disruption, coverage activity, and the kind of competitive motor that coaches usually trust in every down-and-distance. If you want an active, experienced linebacker who can fit run defense and pressure packages, he looks like a strong fit[5][2].
