Tight end is one spot where Alabama will need someone to step in quickly and fill the shoes of not one but two key playmakers from last season. Sophomore Brad Smelley has shown he can step in and fill the receiving tight end role vacated by Nick Walker, but the coaches will likely turn to Georgia Tech transfer Peek to replace the blocking tight end responsibilities of Travis McCall.
Peek has the frame of an interior lineman but the quickness and explosiveness needed to make key blocks in the open field. His excellent receiving skills could also make him more of a threat in the passing game than McCall was, making him potentially the most complete tight end Alabama has seen in years.
