Koa Peat will join the son of the four-time NBA Champion LeBron James, Bryce James, at the Arizona Wildcats next season. The No. 8 recruit in the Class of 2025 (as per On3's Industry Rankings) finished his high school basketball career at Perry.
Koa, who is the youngest of the seven Peat siblings, comes from a family of athletes. He featured in a video by the famous sports page "Sports Stars Of Tomorrow" on Wednesday.
"Koa Peat is an athlete inspired by his family and faith. He's one of the elite basketball prospects in the 2025 class and is committed to Arizona. @koapeat @perry_pumas @perry.mbb," the post was captioned.

His mother, Jana Peat, talked about how the successes of Peat's siblings influenced him:
"I think that the success of my other children has affected Koa in that he has pretty much grew up in a gym and on a football field. He was in the stroller, and I was pushing him to all these games, and it's just become second nature to him," Jana Peat said.
The 6-foot-8 power forward also talked about seeing his siblings play their sport:
"No, it was really cool to go see them play, for sure, because I always looked up to them. I think just, it's a one-two thing, I mean, going and working out is what I've always wanted to do, and I've always wanted to get better on my craft."
His father, Todd Peat, is a former St. Louis/Phoenix Cardinals and Los Angeles Raiders offensive lineman. All of his kids played a sport at a collegiate level, with the power forward joining the Wildcats next season.
