Early life and education

Peevy was born on September 3, 1999, in Bellaire, Texas. [1] He attended Bellaire High School and played football, recording 77 tackles and 10 sacks as a senior while being named U.S. Army All-American. [2] He was a four-star recruit and was ranked the fifth-best defensive end in Texas, the ninth-best strongside defensive end nationally, and the 34th-best in the state. [2] Peevy initially committed to play college football at Baylor, but switched to Texas A&M after the firing of Baylor's coach. [3]

As a true freshman in 2017, Peevy appeared in 12 games for Texas A&M and posted 17 tackles as well as one sack. [2] The following year, he appeared in all 13 games and recorded nine tackles. [2] He also blocked two field goals, both of which came in the same game (versus UAB). [4] As a junior in 2019, Peevy played 12 games, three of which he started, and tallied 34 tackles with 1.5 sacks. [5]

Peevy became a full-time starter in 2020, starting all 10 games in a season shortened by COVID-19 and again making 34 tackles, although he appeared in two less games than the prior year. [2] He also recorded one sack. [5] Peevy opted to return to the team in 2021 after being given one extra year of eligibility. [5] He posted 43 tackles and two sacks, and was invited to the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl. [5] After a game against Colorado, he was named conference defensive lineman of the week. [6] At the team banquet at the end of the year, Peevy was given Texas A&M's "Mr. Dependable" Award. [2] He finished his college career with 58 games played, 137 total tackles and 7.5 sacks. [2]

Carolina Panthers
