Early life

Peña attended Ocean Township High School in Ocean Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey, where he was a track and field All-Shore Conference first-team selection and won the javelin, long jump and 4x100 relay events during his senior season. He had 1,550 yards rushing and 19 touchdowns during his senior season.

Peña was a three-star recruit per ESPN, On3 and 247Sports, while Rivals ranked him as a two-star prospect. He was offered by the Air Force, Army, Navy, Albany, and Bryant, and initially committed to Temple. His primary recruiter at Temple was Fran Brown, who would eventually take over head coaching position at Syracuse in 2024.

During the redshirt junior year in 2024, Peña had a breakout year catching for quarterback Kyle McCord.
