Koa Peat is one of the best high school basketball prospects in America out of Gilbert, Arizona. The McDonald’s All-American has a bright future ahead of him, but he would not be here without his father, Todd Peat Sr.
Who Is Todd Peat Sr.?
Koa Peat is the youngest of seven kids, and it is fair to say that he got a lot of his athleticism from his father.
Todd Peat Sr. is a former NFL offensive lineman who played for the St.Louis/Phoenix Cardinals, Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Raiders, and Houston Oilers. He also played for the Frankfurt Galaxy in the World League of American Football.
The former All-American at Northern Illinois truly passed on some of his athleticism to his kids. In fact, Koa Peat was not the only child who got his father’s athleticism.
Todd Peat Jr., the oldest son, played college football at Nebraska.
Andrus Peat, another son, is currently a three-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman for the Las Vegas Raiders. Cassius Peat played college football for Scottsdale Community College.
His daughter Leilani plays college basketball at Seattle University. The Peat family is surely one of the most athletic families in the business.
