JACOB PEELER<br />
Inside Receivers, 4th Season<br />
Jacob Peeler is in his fourth season as a member<br />
of the Cal football staff and his second campaign<br />
as the team’s inside receivers coach in 2016 after<br />
having worked with the same position group as a<br />
graduate assistant in 2012 and 2013. Peeler has<br />
been instrumental in the success of Cal’s recordbreaking<br />
the past three seasons and has also developed into one of the nation’s<br />
top recruiters.<br />
“Jacob does an outstanding job as a coach on the field and he also has an<br />
outstanding track record with recruiting,” head coach Sonny Dykes said. “He has<br />
really helped us bring in some of the nation’s best student-athletes. He is very<br />
detailed, thorough and an excellent communicator. I’m excited about his future<br />
in the coaching profession.”<br />
The inside receivers played a major role in the Golden Bears 8-5 record in<br />
2015 that was the team’s first eight-win season since the 2009 squad was also<br />
8-5 with only 29 teams since the beginning of Cal football in 1882-83 winning<br />
eight or more and only 17 either nine or 10. Cal capped its 2015 season with<br />
its first bowl victory since 2008 in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl with<br />
the spot in postseason play its first since 2011.<br />
