An Ohio State graduate and former starter on the offensive line for the Buckeyes, Peterson returned to his alma mater in April 2004 in the dual role of tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator. Prior to returning to Ohio State, Peterson spent five years as offensive line coach at Miami (Ohio). He also served as running game coordinator during his last three years with the RedHawks. Following the 2003 season in which the RedHawks posted a 13-1 record and closed out the year with 13 consecutive wins, Peterson accepted the position of offensive line coach at the University of Arizona under Mike Stoops, but was there only briefly before accepting an offer from Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel.
