2025 Five-Star Plus+ PF Koa Peat takes official visit to Texas

The fall visit season is in full swing as the calendar nears October.

The Texas Longhorns welcomed a major prospect in the class of 2025 to Austin this weekend in Gilbert (Ariz.) Perry Five-Star Plus+ power forward Koa Peat. The 6-foot-7, 200-pounder is the No. 3 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

The Longhorns are currently favored to land the PF, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM). Texas has a slight edge over Michigan — the only other program that has had him on campus for an OV thus far.

Peat also owns offers from the likes of Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, North Carolina, Michigan State and Arizona. As a sophomore last season, he was named the Arizona State Gatorade Player of the Year. He is the son of former NFL star Todd Peat.

Peat has an On3 NIL Valuation of $285K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Koa Peat Scouting Summary

“Koa Peat has a naturally strong frame, with long arms and broad shoulders. On the ball, Peat plays with a confidence in both the half and full court. He is a good rebounder and able to push the break in transition. With his lengthy frame, there is upside on defense, especially guarding off the ball. This summer, Peat showed a tendency to settle for jump shots. When getting downhill, he lacks counters off the bounce, and his hips look stiff, attacking mostly in straight lines. The form on the jump shot, the release specifically, looks clean and consistent, leading to the thought he could grow into being a shooting threat. Peat is young, with a 2007 birthday. His father and brother both play(ed) on the line in the NFL.

…He is an active rebounder in his area, chasing rebounds and securing the possessions. He pushes the break with a purpose, showing great balance and floor vision. Needs to develop the jump shot, streaky at all levels. He finishes well around the basket, has good footwork, and he finishes through contact. The production is hard to ignore.“
