During the regular season finale last December, Paul Rhoads made his way to Brian Peavy.

Rhoads threw his arm around the defensive back. He said Peavy already made the decision to be a key factor for the 2015 Iowa State football team.

Peavy flashed a smile.

He spent entire his redshirt season as a dress rehearsal for this fall. Because of how he carried himself last year, it’s not a surprise to those around the football program that Peavy carved out a role in the secondary in his first three college games.
