(Midland, PA) Former Western Beaver High School quarterback Jaivin Peel has now transferred from the Kiski School in Saltsburg, Pennsylvania and went back to Lincoln Park during his junior year. Peel transferred to Lincoln Park for the second time because the first time he did that was back on July 23rd, 2024 after he was enrolled at Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh. Lincoln Park athletic director Mike Bariski confirms that Peel re-enrolled at the charter school based in Midland during the middle of the 2025 high school football season. Bariski also noted that Peel is making plans to play football for Western Beaver in 2026 during his senior season. This Monday, December 8th, will be when the WPIAL Board of Directors will hold an eligibility hearing for Peel, who has a postseason eligibility restriction for football which he can appeal. Peel owns the WPIAL single-season record for most passing yards by a freshman when he threw for 2,898 yards in 2023. Peel will join a Western Beaver High School football team in 2026 that is coming off of an incredible 2025 season, in which they finished with a 10-2 record and won the Midwestern conference championship outright for the first time since 2007. However, Steel Valley High School defeated Western Beaver 34-7 in the WPIAL 2A semifinal on November 14th, 2025 at Dormont Stadium in Dormont, Pennsylvania.
