Peterson, a 6-foot-5 guard from Huntington Prep in West Virginia, announced the Razorbacks, Ohio State, North Carolina, Indiana, Michigan, Kansas, Baylor and Kentucky as his final eight schools of choice. That dropped Auburn, South Carolina, Oregon, Louisville, Michigan State, Texas and UCLA.
Peterson is the No. 1 shooting guard in the land in the 247Sports composite rankings just behind AJ Dybantsa of California and Cameron Boozer, son of former NBA and Duke star Carlos Boozer, out of Florida.
Only five players from the Class of 2025 have committed thus far, leaving Peterson’s chances wide open. He signed an NIL with Adidas and Arkansas is a Nike school, though it’s unclear what hurdles, if any, that will provide.
Arkansas coach Eric Musselman has landed commits from two players in the Class of 2024 in shooting guard Isaiah Elohim and small forward Jalen Shelley. Elohim is ranked No. 42 nationally and Shelley is No. 65 nationally.
