Willem McPeake Willem McPeake 6'0" | 205 lbs | ATH Union County | 2026 State KY 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.
