Ball State Safety Captain with Elite Tackling and Intensity
Rontrell Peyton, a team captain in his second season at Ball State, stands out as a high-intensity safety who recorded 61 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, two interceptions, and one forced fumble in just nine games during the 2015 season. His differentiators include a relentless tackling style, exceptional football IQ, and a personality marked by leadership and grit—traits that make him a perfect fit for teams needing a reliable, battle-tested defensive back. Though listed at 5-11 and 184 lbs, Peyton’s 247Sports rating of 70 (2-star prospect) reflects his under-the-radar potential.
