2003

One of Marshall Football's top offensive linemen in history, McPeek started all four years for the Thundering Herd at tackle with the first three years being at right tackle before he switched to the left side for his senior season where he played through a ruptured disk in his back to continue to lead the Herd. Despite the injury, McPeek was named as a First-Team All-Mid American Conference selection in 2003 – the second such nomination of his career (also in 2001). McPeek was a part of four bowl teams with the Herd – three of which proved victorious from 2000-02 with a Motor City Bowl win and a pair of GMAC Bowl wins. In addition to success on the field, McPeek was also a success in the classroom, being named as an All-MAC Academic Team nominee in 2001. Since then, McPeek has dedicated his life to academics and athletics, serving as head coach at Frederick Douglass High School while also teaching.
