1916

Pitt football’s rich history of All-America players began with Peck, who became the first Panther to receive national individual recognition for his excellence on the gridiron. A “roving center,” Peck was named a first team All-American three consecutive seasons (1914-16). Smart and aggressive, he also was a spiritual leader for Pitt’s juggernaut outfits of that early era. "When Peck fights, the team fights!" served as a Panthers’ rallying cry. Pitt went a combined 24-1 over his final three seasons. During Peck’s junior and senior seasons—played under the iconic Glenn “Pop” Warner—the Panthers won all 16 of their games and claimed the 1915 and 1916 national titles. Peck is enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame.
