Peat previously considered Duke, Kansas, North Carolina and other top programs.
Peat, who plays for Perry High School in Gilbert, recently took an official visit to Arizona in early October during Red-Blue weekend. Arizona was Peat’s final official visit.
The son of former NFL player Todd Peat Sr., Peat comes from an athletic family. His older brother Andrus Peat plays for the Las Vegas Raiders.
247Sports’ scouting report of Peat describes him this way: “Peat, a 6-foot-8, 235-pound forward has continued to do be wildly productive in virtually every setting since, showing his maturity and competitive stamina. He’s broad, powerful, long, and has a body type that you might expect from a family of football players.”
Peat hasn’t given an indication of when he plans to announce his commitment.
Arizona currently has one commitment in the 2025 class from four-star small forward Dwayne Aristode.
