High school career

Peters played high school football and basketball at Avon HS in Indiana. As a senior in 2015, he led Avon to a regional football championship,[1] appearing in 13 games and completing 218 of 363 passes for 3,103 yards, 37 touchdowns, and only five interceptions.[2] In December 2015, The Indianapolis Star selected him as its Mr. Football for the 2015 season.[3] He was also named the Gatorade Player of the Year in Indiana.[2] He participated in the Elite 11 quarterback event in July 2015,[4] and he was rated by ESPN as the No. 5 quarterback in the class of 2016 and the No. 60 overall player in the 2016 ESPN 300.[5]

University of Michigan

In April 2015, Peters committed to play college football at the University of Michigan.[6][7] He enrolled early at Michigan in January 2016. In February 2016, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh compared Peters to Andrew Luck, noting that "I saw a lot of similar things in Brandon -- a natural player, not over-coached or over-mechanized."[8]
