Peebles shared the news to his X account on Tuesday evening.

It is the fourth overall offer and first from an in-state school for the 5-foot-10, 165-pound class of 2026 athlete. His first offer came from the University of Louisville on Dec. 5. Southern Methodist University followed on Dec. 8 and Virginia Tech extended a verbal offer on Dec. 13.

This fall, Peebles racked up an incredible 169 total tackles. That number included five tackles for a loss and a sack. He also caught three interceptions, broke up eight passes, forced three fumbles, and recovered five fumbles. The sophomore scored touchdowns on a punt return, fumble return, and interception return. He had 33 total tackles as a freshman during the 2022 season.

Cardinal Gibbons finished the 2023 campaign with a 12-3 overall record and as the runner-up in the 4A East region.
