After redshirting in 2011, Marcus Peters worked himself into the starting lineup the following year, earning eight starts and leading the Washington Huskies in passes defended (eleven) and interceptions (three), adding 44 tackles (two for loss). As a sophomore in 2013, Peters started all but one game, leading the team with 14 passes defended and five picks, taking home Second Team All-Pac 12 laurels. In 2014, he started seven games before his dismissal from the program, finishing with 30 tackles (four TFLs), ten passes defended and three interceptions in 2014.
Judging solely from his on-field performance, Peters' talent warrants a first-round grade and perhaps even top 15 consideration.
