Koa Peat – the son of former NFL star Todd Peat – developed into a Five-Star Plus+ recruit in the 2025 recruiting class thanks to his success in club, international and high school competition. At Gilbert (Arizona) Perry High school, Peat averaged 15 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.8 blocks during his freshman season. Peat was a central reason why Perry won its first-ever Class 6A state title. He scored 14 points and had six rebounds in the championship game. He ramped things up even more as a sophomore by averaging 19.7 points, 9.4 rebounds, three assists and 1.7 blocks in the 2022-2023 season. Perry went 30-1 that season and the Pumas won the inaugural AIA Open Division state title. Peat was on fire in the title game, scoring 35 points on 13 of 18 from the floor. For his efforts he was named Arizona's Gatorade Player of the Year. Peat won a gold medal with the United States at the 2022 FIBA Under-17 World Cup in Spain, earning all-tournament team honors after averaging 9.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in 20.1 minutes per game. He also starred for the U16 team in 2023 at the FIBA U16 Americas Championship. Peat is the youngest of seven kids in his family. His father played for the Cardinals and Raiders. His older brother, Andrus, was a longtime NFL player.
