THE FLATS – A member of Georgia Tech’s “Iron Five” unit, which helps prepare the Yellow Jackets for each game by simulating the opponent in practice, Aaron Peek joined the team out of a tryout prior to the beginning of fall practice in October, 2011.

The former Mays High School star played in 14 games during his Tech career. He wore No. 11 as a freshman, No. 31 the last three years.

The public policy major will graduate in May.
