'Bama's Colin Peek Named to John Mackey Award Watch List

Alabama senior tight end Colin Peek is one of 22 players named to the 2009 John Mackey Award Watch List, the Nassau County Sports Commission announced. The Mackey Award is given annually to best collegiate tight end and the winner will be announced on Dec. 10. Peek has started all seven games for the top-ranked Crimson Tide and has caught a team-high 19 passes for 213 yards (11.2 per catch) and one touchdown this season. Peek’s blocking skills have paved the way for sophomore running back Mark Ingram’s SEC-leading 129.29 rushing yards per game this season, and eight touchdowns. In addition, the Crimson Tide offense churns out 259.83 rushing yards per game to rank third in the SEC and sixth nationally. Peek is one of five SEC tight ends named to the Mackey Award watch list. The SEC Rocks!
