Antwan Peek Jr announces return to Cincinnati for 2026
Legacy star safety Antwan Peek Jr announces his return to Cincinnati
Today, Cincinnati Bearcats redshirt junior safety Antwan Peek Jr, will return for his senior season. With the turnover on the coaching staff and the roster, keeping Peek was key for this program moving forward. The former walk on has turned into a mainstay on defense, the hard hitting turnover machine is a fan favorite.
The son of Bearcat Hall of Fame Antwan Peek Sr., Jr. is doing a great job keeping the Peek legacy alive for the Bearcats.
Peek's stats in 2025:
59 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, one sack, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, an a pass defensed.
With one safety spot secured they can look for depth pieces in the portal or a guy or two to compete at the other spot with Marqavious Saboor.
Others who have said they will return in 2026:
Max Fletcher, punter
Gavin Grover, tight end
Manny Covey, running back
Stephen Rusnak, kicker
