Sports Illustrated named Peppers one of their “Future Game Changers.”  Five star prospect coming out of high school, he chose to play for Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines. Peppers has played well and has been named the Thompson-Randle El Freshman of the Year, Freshman All-American, and a Second-Team All-American in 2015.  With versatility to play offense and return kicks and punts he would look really good in pewter and red.
