    Noorgard med retirement

    This is most likely the case. I'm sure Peacock is fine but I would have liked to see them pull out the big dick and go after a bigtime guy rather than just offer a lightly recruited local kid to fill the spot. It will be interesting to see in december if the coaches move on to 2021 and phone in the rest of this class or if they start to get aggressive.
    My Harbor Guys™️ say he’s a freak athlete but yeah I agree.

    No issues at all with taking a late bloomer on the OL with who we have already landed. Assuming all of our current commits enroll, which it sounds like they will.

    Next James Atoe? #lotterypick
    He could be the next Nick Harris but if we? get him, we? are definitely beating out some heavyweights.


    This kid isn't 5'11 like Harris.

    "My hamstring got injured at the Oregon State camp and I wasn't able to do the Washington camp, so I didn't get to work out in front of them," Peacock told Dawgman.com shortly after announcing his decision to become a Husky. "Since I didn't get to take part in their camp, they just watched me, watched my film and they said I showed them enough that they wanted me to be part of the program and so they offered me."

    Peacock took his time to make the decision since he knew he needed to call the Oregon State coaches and let them know of his decision.

    "It wasn't an easy call, but you have to make it," Peacock said. "They weren't happy and I knew it would be a tough call, but you have to do what is right for you and Washington was just the better fit for me.

    "I have so much respect for them and what they are doing down there, but Washington was the right place for me."

    Why was Washington the right place for him?

    "I respect the coaches (at Washington) a ton and I have a good relationship with them," Peacock noted. "They develop guys and make you better and overall I just felt at home there. I know I will fit in well there."

    Washington offensive line coach Scott Huff has been Peacock's main recruiter and he has let the 6'6", 265-pounder know where his head needs to be once he arrives next summer.

    "They see me at tackle," Peacock said. "Either side is fine with me and they didn't really say they saw me playing a particular side. They just want me ready to go and focused once I get there."

    Peacock plans to take his official visit the final weekend before the mid-year signing period begins (December 18th - 20th) and then will sign with the Dawgs three days later.

    In addition to his exploits on the football field, Peacock is also a basketball player and an accomplished track and field.

    "I throw the shot," Peacock noted. "I was state last year. I hit my PR (personal record), 58'11" to win state(3A) and I want to go back and win it again."

    I was hoping we would consider a 5th olineman with some of the recent attrition/misses we've had. I thought it would be Henderson/Rogers/Stephen/Kylany, but I guess its not that surprising we went with Peacock. The oline class is more interior heavy so it makes sense to go after a more prototypical tackle.

    I'm always in favor of taking high upside tackles that have the athleticism but need to add the weight. Huff had plenty of options to go after for the 5th oline spot and he chose Peacock, this isn't settling for an inferior talent.

    Nah it's grear. He just makes a great O line class better.
