As a high school junior, Charone Peake (Dorman High School, South Carolina) already possesses the ideal size of a collegiate wide receiver. At 6'3" 185, Peake does many things well.

Peake is ranked #12 overall on the ESPNU Top 150 list for 2011 football recruits, and #91 overall on Rivals100 list.

At 6'5" 253, Drew runs a 4.65 forty and is being recruited both as a defensive end and outside linebacker, depending on the particular scheme.
