Nick Peltekian remains a playmaking, all-around DB for Lehigh
Peltekian is a proven FCS impact defender who was named to the 2026 Stats Perform preseason All-America third team and the Buck Buchanan watch list after an injury-shortened 2025 season in which he still logged 28 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a clutch interception in Lehigh’s title-clinching win at Lafayette.[7][9] His value goes beyond coverage: he has 193 career tackles, five interceptions, and punt-return juice that includes a 2023 touchdown, so he fits best as a versatile, high-motor safety/returner who can change field position and make timely game-winning plays.[2][7][8]
