Jacarrius Peak brings elite tackle experience, but his 2026 readiness hinges on health
Peak looks like a plug-and-play left tackle with rare portal pedigree: South Carolina landed him as a top-ranked transfer, and he brings 32 career starts, 2,200-plus snaps, and strong pass-protection value from NC State. In the 2025 season, he was described as an All-ACC honorable mention and one of the ACC’s better pass blockers, with scouts calling him a potential elite pass protector. The caution flag is health—he missed spring after a February lower-body/knee injury—but the upside is big for a Gamecocks line that needs stability.
