Presbyterian’s defensive tone-setter with efficient two-way value
In the 2025-26 season, Jaylen Peterson emerged as a true impact forward for Presbyterian, earning Big South Defensive Player of the Year honors while averaging 10.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game; he also ranked tied for fifth in the league with 1.5 blocks per game. He’s the kind of player coaches love: active, physical, and reliable on the glass, with enough scoring pop to punish mistakes. If your team needs a tough, high-motor forward who changes games without needing the spotlight, Peterson fits the bill nicely.
