Summary

Biography

Coach Mike Says:
"A competitor who will provide outstanding leadership even before he's made the transition from football to basketball. Last year we learned that it's not like changing uniforms, there's a toll involved, but nobody will outwork Demetrius and nobody cares more. He'll be ready as soon as possible, and when he is, he'll give us quality minutes and a big impact as a rebounder and inside presence, both defensively and in creating space for our guys to use."
