Five-Star Plus+ PF Koa Peat visiting Arizona this weekend

Koa Peat, the No. 1 ranked high school basketball player in Arizona and a Five-Star Plus+ prospect, will take an official visit to the University of Arizona this weekend, he told On3.

The 6-foot-8 power forward attends Perry High School in Gilbert, Arizona. He’s ranked as the No. 6 overall player in the 2025 class, making him one of the top prospects in the country.

Peat’s trip to UofA marks his sixth official visit. He’s also been to Arizona State, Texas, Michigan (former staff), North Carolina, and Houston.

Following his trip to Tucson, he is also scheduled to see Duke (10/18) and Baylor (10/25).

Peat Scouting Report

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.

Koa Peat is a productive, physical presence. Despite his young age, he has good length and a very strong frame. 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.
