Pegues came to Auburn as a tight end but moved to the defensive line during Bryan Harsin’s first season with Auburn. The 6-foot-3, 308-pound Pegues played every game this season and finished the year with 17 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, and forced one fumble.
As a tight end in 2020, he rushed for 14 yards on five carries and caught seven passes for 57 yards.
Pegues will have up to three seasons of eligibility at his next school.
