Draft Profile: Bio
Out of football-rich Valdosta, Georgia, Peak was the highest-ranked recruit in NC State's 2022 class, a four-star and a top-165 national prospect who chose the Wolfpack over Louisville, LSU, Miami and Georgia Tech. He grew into a multi-year starter on the NC State line, bringing a physical, finish-through-the-whistle edge to the tackle spot.Peak started thirteen games in 2025, splitting his work nearly evenly between pass protection and the run game across 850 snaps, allowing three sacks and twelve pressures while drawing eight penalties. He entered the transfer portal after the season and was rated the No. 1 available tackle, committing to South Carolina, a long, powerful blocker with starting experience and the frame to play either tackle spot. His Valdosta upbringing forged a nasty, personal edge in his game, and the move to South Carolina gave him a Power Four stage to build on multiple seasons of starting reps at NC State.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Outlier movement skills for the position; made a national list of college football's best athletes.
- Pass protection is the strength of his game, with shutout tape against Georgia Tech and Florida State.
- Started every game for two straight seasons, flipping from right tackle to left without a hiccup.
- Recovery quickness erases early losses; redirects and re-anchors against counters better than most college tackles.
- Honored as All-ACC honorable mention while protecting a young quarterback's blind side.
- Climbs to the second level smoothly and tracks moving targets in space.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Light frame by NFL tackle standards; bigger ends set a hard edge against him.
- Pittsburgh outmuscled him at the point of attack; his run game trails his pass protection.
- Miami's speed-to-power broke his anchor repeatedly in his roughest pass-protection outing.
- Eight penalties in 2025 reflect grabby hands when his frame gets out-leveraged.
Scouting Report: Summary
Start with the athlete, because that is what the league will do. Peak is a rare mover for the position, fast enough to land on a national list of college football's best athletes, and the lightness in his feet shows on every pull, climb and recovery rep. He started every game for two straight seasons, right tackle in 2024 and the blind side in 2025, and finished as the most dependable blocker on the Wolfpack front with all-conference recognition. Pass protection is where he earns his money; Georgia Tech and Florida State both left without a meaningful win against him.Mass and power, not skill, are the worries. He is light for the position, and the Miami game will follow him through the process; their speed-to-power broke his anchor repeatedly, the one outing where technique could not paper over the strength gap. The run game sits behind the pass protection, with Pittsburgh outmuscling him at the point of attack, and eight penalties reflect the grabbing that starts when his frame gets out-leveraged.
He moves on to South Carolina for his final season as the most coveted tackle in the winter portal market, and a year in an SEC strength program attacks the one flaw in the projection directly. The movement skills, durability and two-position experience give him a real path to an NFL starting job, with swing-tackle value as the floor while he fills out.
