Five-Star Forward Koa Peat Set to Visit Baylor This Weekend

Gilbert (AZ) Perry High School 2025 forward Koa Peat‍ will be taking an official visit to Baylor this weekend.

Peat is a consensus five-star prospect across all national recruiting sites and is a top-five overall prospect in the 2025 class per composite rankings. The 6-foot-8 forward has already made official visits to Arkansas, Arizona, Arizona State, Houston and Texas.

The back-to-back Gatorade Arizona Player of the Year averaged 20.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.0 steals per game as he helped lead Perry to a second-straight Open State Tournament Championship. 

He also won a gold medal with the United States at the FIBA Under-17 World Cup while averaging 9.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 20.1 minutes per game.

Earlier this month, head coach Scott Drew received a commitment from five-star Santa Maria (CA) St. Joseph wing Tounde Yessoufou‍. Yessoufou‍ was a consensus top 20 prospect in the nation.

Landing Peat would give the Bears back-to-back five-star commitments in the 2025 class and vault Baylor toward the top of 247’s team recruiting rankings.
