The goalkeeper began his collegiate career in 2018 at the University of Pittsburgh, making 20 appearances during his two seasons with the Panthers. In 2019, Peñaranda transferred to Florida International University and later made 7 appearances in the 2021 season, following the cancellation of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
