Playing career
A native of Plainview, Texas, Peret was a standout basketball player at Plainview High School. When deciding upon which college to attend, he chose Texas A&M due to insistence by his parents and grandmother. When he arrived in the fall of 1965, he had to play for the school's freshman team because then-NCAA rules prohibited freshmen from competing at the varsity level. When Peret finally suited up for the Aggies as a sophomore in 1966, he led a program in which led them in rebounding all three seasons, scoring in his final two seasons, and culminated his career by leading them to the school's first-ever Sweet 16 appearance in the 1969 NCAA University Division basketball tournament. Peret was named to the All-Southwest Conference First Team in both his junior and senior years, and was named the SWC co-Player of the Year as a senior.In 2011, Peret was inducted into Texas A&M's athletics hall of fame.
