biography, Peters was a 1993 NAIA All American at soccer player at Park College where he scored 25 goals and adding 12 assists in 18 games. However, the NAIA has no record of a Nyanforth Peters gaining All American recognition in 1993 or any other year. He then supposedly left college and moved to Switzerland where he played for FC Locarno
. The accuracy of this is unknown. In February 1996, the Kansas City Wiz selected Peters in the 8th round (76th overall) in the 1996 MLS Inaugural Player Draft
. However, he never played a game with the Wiz and there is no record of him being waived or released, leading to the conclusion that he never signed with the team.
