Many consider Peters the greatest athlete to play at Davidson. He earned four letters (football, basketball, baseball, track) during the 1942-43 seasons. Basketball was his best sport and he averaged 17.5 points to lead the Southern Conference in scoring in 1943. In baseball he was considered a major league prospect. Sadly, Peters died in World War II after playing only one year at Davidson. Davidson's highest athletic award is presented in Peter's honor. The Tommy Peters Award is given each year to the Davidson male athlete who best exemplifies the Davidson spirit in intercollegiate athletic competition.
