Standing at 6-foot-8, Peat is ranked No. 9 in the ESPN 100 and has been a three-time gold medalist with USA Basketball.

Peat's commitment elevates Arizona's recruiting class ranking to No. 16 in the 2025 cycle.

Top-10 recruit Koa Peat has committed to the University of Arizona, making his announcement on 'The Pat McAfee Show' on March 27, 2025.

The Gilbert, Arizona native chose Arizona over offers from Arizona State, Baylor, Houston, and Texas.

Peat is recognized as one of the highest-ranked uncommitted high school basketball players in the country.

Last spring, Peat averaged 20.4 points and 8.0 rebounds per game while playing with the Compton Magic program in the Adidas 3SSB circuit.

Peat is expected to join the starting lineup early, especially with freshman forward Carter Bryant projected as a top-20 NBA draft pick.

With Peat's addition, Arizona's 2025 recruiting class now includes three players: Peat, four-star forward Dwayne Aristode, and three-star guard Bryce James, son of NBA superstar LeBron James.

At Perry High School, he led his team to four consecutive state championships and was named Gatorade Player of the Year in Arizona three times, averaging 18.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 5.1 assists this season.

Known for his college-ready strength and double-double potential, Peat is a versatile player with a strong basketball IQ and scoring capabilities from various positions on the court.

According to scouting reports, Peat is a constant double-double threat with a polished mid-range game and effective ball-handling skills.

In his commitment, Peat expressed his desire to win and the importance of being pushed by the coaching staff, describing Arizona's culture as familial and supportive.
