For Aaron Peck, football came to a standstill two weeks into Fresno State’s 2015 fall camp. He landed poorly after leaping to snare a high throw on the practice field. There was surgery to repair a left foot injury, then that was it, the season gone.
Peck, though, didn’t stop.
He worked through the many emotions that came with so much at stake a year ago – Peck was entering his senior season in the best shape of his life, the top returning receiver on a team that lacked experienced playmakers outside.
Peck graduated with a degree in business administration-sports marketing, had an internship in the Bulldogs’ marketing department and did community service with other student-athletes.
