Son of former Georgia Tech and Buffalo Bill Mark Pike. Playing linebacker as he waits his turn at quarterback the position many project him to play at the next level.
Class of 2012 quarterback Zeke Pike (Edgewood, Ky./Dixie Heights) is a potential future five-star. The 6-foot-5, 220-pounder has a big arm, good feet and instincts and while young (he still has two more years of high school football), is the complete package at this position. He will be the most celebrated recruit to come out of the Commonweath since Tim Couch. Pike told me that every program he camped with this summer issued a verbal offer.

2012 Future 247 quarterback Zeke Pike (Dixie Heights H.S., Fort Mitchell, Ky.) took an unofficial visit this weekend to Clemson.
Pike, a member of the Future247, claims between 35 and 40 offers.
He plans to trim his favorites list to 10 sometime after his season so as to begin whittling the process toward a decision before his senior year. Clemson will be toward the top of that list, he said.
The 6-foot-5, 220-pounder has attended games at Louisville, Kentucky, Iowa and Purdue this fall and will go to Auburn next week.
Pike is unsure of his plans thereafter, but he is considering taking in games at Arkansas, Florida, LSU or Alabama before the season is over. His other offers include Southern California, Tennessee, Oklahoma State and North Carolina.
One of the top rated QB’s in the country is Zeke Pike. The Bluegrass State hasn’t had a QB with this much attention since Tim Couch. Pike holds a ton of BCS offers and can basically pick any school in the country. UK has extended an offer to Pike, but it appears he is a long shot to end up at UK.
Both Patrick Towles and Adam Wing are top in-state QB’s. Towles currently holds several BCS offers, but the Cats have yet to extend an offer. Look for UK to offer Towles soon. Wing is another athletic QB who doesn’t play in an offensive system to show off his ability. Wing could really help himself by attending camps and combines this summer. He currently holds an offer from Marshall.
