Georgia basketball player picks transfer destination

Georgia basketball sophomore Mike Peake entered the NCAA transfer portal, according to a report from Dawgnation.

At 6 feet, 8 inches, 220 pounds, Peake signed late in last year’s class. He played high school basketball at Blue Valley Northwest High School in Overland Park, Kansas.

Peake was gracious for his time at the University of Georgia, but is now transferring to Austin Peay. Austin Peay went 21-12 last season. Peake is now a little bit closer to home.

Thankful for all the support I’ve gotten over the past few weeks. Thanks to Bulldog nation for endless love while I was at Georgia. Thank you to the coaches and teammates at Georgia this past year. I am committed to @AustinPeayMBB ‼️‼️ pic.twitter.com/QVE6OiSqlt
