Koa Peat's initiative for young athletes

He shared a carousel featuring pictures of the work they are doing on Instagram on Thursday:
"Thank you to everyone who came out to the first free annual Peat Bros camp @peatspurpose," Peat captioned the post.
Peat, who signed for the Wildcats on March 27, will be joined by the son of the four-time NBA champion LeBron James, Bryce James, Brayden Burries and Dwayne Aristode.
