JaSire Peterson brings former top-recruit size and versatility to UAB’s defensive front
A 6-foot-4, 290-pound defensive lineman, JaSire Peterson arrives at UAB with legit pedigree, having been a four-star signee and one of New Jersey’s top prospects out of Union City. In 2025, he logged limited game action but showed enough promise to keep him on the radar as a young interior force with power, length, and developmental upside. What makes him interesting is the ceiling: he’s built like a disruptive front-seven piece, has played both sides of the line before, and carries the kind of physical profile coaches love to mold into a dependable run-stopper or penetration rusher.
