On September 18, 2010, Peay scored his first collegiate goal for the Huskies in a 4–1 upset win over No. 15 Portland.[1] He was one of two freshmen to appear in all 17 matches for the Huskies. In his sophomore year, Peay made 17 appearances and helped the Huskies record nine clean sheets. In 2012, he made 20 appearances and finished the year with one goal. In his final season with the Huskies, Peay made 22 appearances and scored six goals including a hat trick in a 4–1 victory over Santa Clara on September 3.[2] He led the Huskies to their first Pac-12 title since 2000 scoring 9 goals and their first trip to the Elite Eight where they fell to no. 7 seed New Mexico.[3] On September 13, 2013, Peay was named NSCAA First Team All-American.[4] As well as a Mac Herman Trophy Finalist.
Peay also played in the USL Premier Development League with Ogden Outlaws, Seattle Sounders FC U-23 and North Sound SeaWolves.[5][6][7][8]

Peay then went abroad to Bodo Glimt where he spent a couple months after leaving Portland Timbers at the end of 2016.
Peay then signed with United Soccer League side Real Monarchs on March 23, 2017.[12] Peay's option was not picked by the Monarchs at the end of the 2017 season as he was set to sign with Real Salt Lake.
