has been on my radar for a while now and continued to stand out as a senior. McPeake played in a linebacker/strong safety role this season where he was very reliable in pass coverage. He does a great job of reading route combinations and the quarterback then breaking on the ball with perfect timing to make a play when it is thrown in his direction. McPeake finished his senior year with a team-high seven interceptions in 13 games, returning one of them for a touchdown. He also showed the ability to stop the run, recording 69 tackles and 4.5 tackles for loss this season. Willem also played a huge role on offense as a senior, leading his team in rushing with 229 carries for 1,505 yards and 16 touchdowns while also catching four passes for 137 yards and a touchdown. McPeake currently holds an offer from Thomas More and I wouldn’t be surprised to see more come his way soon.

put together a strong performance last week. He lined up at inside linebacker where he was very impressive in coverage. McPeake did a great job of dropping into coverage quickly then reading the quarterback and route combinations. When the ball was thrown his way, he showed the ability to break on the ball with perfect timing, finishing the game with three interceptions, returning one for a touchdown. He also finished the game with six tackles and ran the ball nine times for 23 yards. Willem currently holds an offer from Thomas More and I expect him to be a player who a lot of college coaches have their eyes on this season.

is a player that has been on our radar for a while now and continued to stand out this past season. On offense, McPeake had a very strong year as a ball carrier, finishing the season with 148 carries for 1,084 yards and 11 touchdowns in 12 games. He is a strong runner, showing the contact balance to break tackles with ease without losing stride. McPeake has also shown the speed to run away from the defense once he hits the open field. Willem also plays a key role on defense at linebacker, finishing this past season with 68 tackles, three tackles for loss, and one interception which he returned for a touchdown. McPeake doesn’t currently hold any offers but he is a player that college coaches should definitely keep a close eye on going into his junior year.
