Billy Burton, a 247Sports founder and former Editor-in-Chief of Rivals.com, watched Peterson raise to the top of Rivals' recruiting board, personally scouting him on multiple occasions for the recruiting service.

“When you’re looking for a No. 1 recruit in the country, you’re looking for that mythical Greek god,” Burton said, via 247Sports. “That’s what he was.”

The fan voters are suppose to take into account only their high school resume, not college or professional achievements.

In 2019, Peterson was inducted into the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame.
