Boy, he's a natural athlete in every sense of the word- I agree with Wadc and BN44820. He could play HB, LB, or S at the next level. This kid should get some more attention! He should really be something in college

How about Clifford/Oliver.
Peake is good, but Oliver is on a whole nother level.
I think if he were to get an offer it would be for lb.

I have never seen Cliffor dplay, so I don't know. However, I saw Peake's videos and he looks like a big hitter... like Salley. That's why I said it.

I agree, CB40. I saw Colerain play last year, and with all the amazing athletes they had last year, Clifford was one of the ones that stood out the most. I'd LOVE to get both Clifford and Oliver together in the same class. That would be a Donte/Nate combination. Carlton is no slouch though! At WORST, he's a "plan A" player being used as "plan B"

Yeah no problem. I guess there is a chance we could bring Peake in and let Clifford play WR.
BTW Clifford is top 3 prospect in the state.

I think the ideal safeties would be a Clifford and Oliver combo. Peake looks like a LB prospect to me, especially a defense against the spread type of LB with that speed.

COMMENTARY
Peake's move to Trotwood stirs debate
By Mark Gokavi
Dayton Daily News
After years wearing black and gold, red and white seems strange to Carlton Peake.
"I don't feel right in this," Peake said of his new school colors. "When I put it on, I don't feel right. Hopefully, I look right. I'm getting used to it."
Peake, a junior, recently transferred from Meadowdale to Trotwood-Madison.
Peake said he was the Lions' offensive (running back) and defensive (safety) football MVP and an all-conference selection.
Peake said he enjoyed Meadowdale. "I've got a bond with them; I was close with the players and coaches," he said. "But with what I wanted to do, I had to make a change. Stats say it's hard to (get recruited) from Dayton Public Schools. I liked everybody where I was at. But I had to change.
"Some (friends) say they didn't care. Some called me weak, so I knew they weren't my friends. Others were dogging me. We have one time to do this (high school). I have to do what I need to do for where I want to go."
Under coach Bosie Miliner, Meadowdale has sent its share of football players to college. Paul Long plays DB at Purdue. Jerrell Ringer was a running back at Akron. Miliner said there are others at smaller colleges.
Many of the area football players who made it to the NFL played in Dayton's city limits.
Miliner, in his 13th season as head coach, didn't say much publicly about Peake. But he did address the culture of transferring for sports.
"The only thing I can tell these kids is that it still takes grade-point average and the ACT to get into school," Miliner said. "It doesn't matter where you go (to high school).
"If you want to transfer, that's your decision. A couple parents said some things. I said if you wish to pull your kid and go somewhere else, please do so."
Peake considered Wayne but decided on Trotwood. His grandmother, whom he said lives in Trotwood's district, assumed legal custody from his mother.
Peake, a 6-foot-2, 208-pounder, said he met Trotwood coach Maurice Douglass at a football camp years ago.
Douglass, who made it to the NFL from Trotwood via the University of Kentucky, said Peake talked to him at Trotwood boys basketball games.
"His family felt that he would have the best opportunity to further himself by coming out to Trotwood — as far as going to college and as far as recruitment," Douglass said.
"He felt that he wasn't getting the type of attention he deserved. Mom just wanted her son to go to school. He'd be her first child that's in college."
There are grumblings about Douglass' tactics in some coaching circles. Other than one playoff team, his Rams haven't contended in the league.
But Trotwood has sent many players to Division I schools and smaller colleges. Douglass reminds people of Trotwood kids who starred at other schools.
"I never pursued it because we ain't trying to get nobody else's kids," Douglass said. "If their parents said they're putting them out here, I'm not going to say no."
Meadowdale plays at Trotwood in Week 1 next season.
"I'm going to go play, try to win the game," Peake said after a chuckle. "I think it's going to be ... I don't know. I know I'll hear it from a lot of people."
The coaches say they've had a polite handshake but not more than that. It's a fine line between one family's decision and a trend — especially if more Dayton kids move to Trotwood.
"People can cry all day and be upset about it," Douglass said. "But the line that they went through was perfectly legal."
OK. But in this case, the line between the black and gold and red and white seems a little gray.

No touching!
The more video of Carlton I see, the more I like. Dayton Public School league doesn't have great competition though, so I try to keep that in mind. He'll see a better level in the GWOC this year. This guy really looks like a football player though...
