Jeff Peterson, a senior point guard at DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, MD, has signed a national letter of intent to attend the University of Iowa and join the Hawkeye basketball program.
The announcement of Iowa's first recruit during the spring signing period was made Monday by Coach Todd Lickliter.
"Jeff is a solid basketball player and an outstanding student," said Lickliter, of his first Iowa recruit. "He's excited about joining the Iowa program and we're excited to have him. He will be a good fit for Iowa basketball and will represent our program in a very positive manner."
Peterson (6-0, 190) averaged 13.5 points and 8.7 assists per game as a senior at DeMatha, one of the most successful and highly recognized prep programs in the nation. Peterson shot 43% from three-point range and 79% from the free throw line. He led DeMatha to a 28-6 record in his senior season as DeMatha won its third straight Washington, DC city championship. DeMatha was ranked as high as second in the nation before being ranked 16th at the end of the season. Peterson earned first team all-conference honors and was honorable mention all-Metro.
