The idea that the man Jacob wrestled with was actually a theophany (God appearing in the form of a man) or a Christophany (a pre-incarnate appearance of the 2nd person of the trinity as a man) is supported by Jacob's own words in verse 30; “So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, ‘It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.’”
