ASHEVILLE, N.C. – UNC Asheville men's basketball head coach Nick McDevitt recently announced the addition of Jeremy Peck.
Peck joins the Bulldogs from Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pa. Due to NCAA transfer rules, he will sit out the 2017-18 season.
A native of Houston, Texas, Peck saw action in 19 games for Drexel as a true freshman in the 2016-17 season. He averaged 1.6 points and 1.6 rebounds per game in 6.4 minutes of action per game. His best game of the year came against Kean where he scored six points to go along with 10 rebounds.
The 6-foot-8, 225-pound forward attended St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Houston where he was a two-year team captain. The St. Thomas Aquinas Most Valuable Player was a two-time first-team All-State selection. He garnered All-District accolades three times.
During Peck's junior season he averaged 16 points and nine rebounds per game before averaging a double-double as a senior.
Peck joins a UNC Asheville men's basketball program that picked up their sixth Big South Conference regular-season title in the 2016-17 season (1996-97, 1997-98, 2001-02, 2007-08, 2011-12 and 2016-17).
