Michigan QB Commit Brandon Peters Throws for 381 Yards, Totals 5 TDs in Week 2
Michigan Wolverines quarterback commit Brandon Peters continued his hot start to the season Friday night, firing four touchdown tosses in a back-and-forth affair between Avon High School and Ben Davis High School in Indiana.
The high-profile programs exchanged explosive offensive plays throughout the contest, which ended with Peters' Avon squad suffering a 49-42 defeat. He finished the game with 26 pass completions for 381 yards, per Kyle Neddenriep of the Indianapolis Star.
Peters, who committed to Michigan in April, added a short score on the ground to give him five total touchdowns.
“I think I did pretty good, but what I did wasn’t enough. We should have won," he told Brice Marich of Scout.com.
The 4-star recruit is red-hot so far as a senior.
Peters threw five touchdowns in the team's Aug. 21 season opener, a 41-0 victory over Plainfield. His 65-percent completion rate helped result in 637 passing yards during the first two games, per MaxPreps.
His latest effort occurred in a matchup that included fellow Wolverines commit Chris Evans. The Ben Davis running back was limited to just 36 rushing yards, but he beat Avon defenders for a 50-yard touchdown reception.
Peters, a 6'5", 205-pound prospect, is rated seventh nationally among pro-style quarterbacks. He competed in the national Elite 11 finals this summer at Nike's world headquarters in Oregon.
Aside from Michigan, his list of scholarship offers includes Nebraska, Wisconsin and LSU. First-year Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh ultimately helped lure him to Ann Arbor.
"It plays a pretty big factor," Peters told Bleacher Report. "You have a head coach who has experienced it all at the position and can help you progress through your career. It was definitely a big emphasis with Michigan."
He is on pace to post career-best statistics this season. Peters threw for 1,876 yards, 21 touchdowns and six interceptions in 11 games as a junior.
His early 2015 results have already sent him soaring in 247Sports' rankings. The site bumped Peters up to No. 46 overall after he entered the fall listed at No. 143.
