Legas threw for 171 yards and two touchdowns in his first collegiate action.

During the 2021 season, Peasley threw for 415 yards and three touchdowns, while accumulating 212 rushing yards and one touchdown in 25 attempts. His biggest game of the season came in a 49-45 comeback win over Air Force, in which he threw for three touchdowns. Utah State went overall 11-3 in 2021, including a 46-13 win over a top-25 San Diego State team in the Mountain West Championship game.

During his time at La Grande, Peasley recorded over 100 total touchdowns and threw for over 4,000 yards between his sophomore and junior seasons. He was also a key part of the basketball and baseball teams at La Grande.
