"Jon had a notable high school career and had a solid showing when he tried out for our squad,” said MVNU head coach Paul Furey. "I do not think we have seen all of his potential, and I believe he will develop into a promising player over time. He is a good technical player. As he adjusts to the physical college game, he will certainly contribute to our team success. He should fit in nicely at MVNU.”

In addition to playing soccer at Houghton Academy, Peck played travel soccer from the time he was eight years old. He was a member of the Churchville Soccer Club in 2006 and the Rochester District Yought Soccer League in 2007 and 2008.

He has also taken several youth missions trips.

"There are several reasons why I chose MVNU,” said Peck of his college choice. "The school offers the programs that I want to pursue. I like the fact that it is a large community with a strong Christian environment. It also has a very reputable soccer team.”

MVNU had a record-setting season in 2008 as the Cougars finished the year with an 18-4-2 overall record and an 8-1-2 mark in the American Mideast Conference. The team was ranked No. 7 in the final NAIA poll - the highest ranking in school history.
