While Peek may have been a scratch for several games, if you don't have Swann, Williams, and Schaffer, you almost can't even field a team.

Booker, DWP, Johnson, Pakola, Phillips, Boles would be the only DL not he roster; one True Frosh, a RS Frosh, a walk-on, and three RS Juniors. Peek may not be good, but he has a big body.  

IOW, it makes a lot more sense for him to leave in the interest of playing football, if Swann, Williams, and Schaffer all return. He would have zero chance to play if they all came back.  He might have a slim chance if they didn't.

Whatever the case, all this is to say Stanford's DL would actually be in pretty good shape in 2020 if Shaw can successfully recruit the Seniors to return for a 5th year.
