The 6-6, 315-pound defensive tackle is now one of four Aggies to sign UDFA deals, along with Leon O'Neal, Aaron Hansford, and Tyree Johnson.

Peevy played for five seasons at Texas A&M and amassed 137 tackles, 7.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one interception during that time. Peevy chose to utilize his extra year of eligibility due to COVID-19 to return to A&M for one last ride. Last season, Peevy had 43 tackles, 17 solo, with one interception and one forced fumble.

Peevy was a two-year starter that exhibited size, length, and power over opposing offensive linemen. With a little improvement to his footwork and hands, he could offer a depth piece on the defensive line for the Titans.
