Joseph Peko brings power, hand usage, and interior disruption to Washington
Peko is a high-three-star defensive tackle whose calling card is steady interior production and a high motor: as a junior at Oaks Christian, he posted 38 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, and five sacks despite missing games, and he added another strong statistical season before a senior-year ACL injury limited him. Scouts praise his natural strength, advanced hand technique, and ability to fight through double teams, which makes him more than just a space-eater; he looks like a disruptive fit for a defense that values effort, leverage, and backfield pressure.
