Donovan Newton '20 Recruiting Profile

On the court, I live by the quote," If I am not willing to learn, no one can help me... if I am willing to learn no one can stop me." I believe that my game can further evolve with proper guidance. I am a player that loves to get my team involved but I can also score the ball. I am patient, hardworking, and determined to keep getting better on the court. My mother was a single parent raising my siblings and me, so when I think I am going through adversity I quickly realized that complaining denies that I have been blessed. Off the court, I know that I am a student-athlete. My grades are important to me because, without them, I would not be able to play the game I love; furthermore, my mother would beat the little butt I do have, so I hold myself to a high academic standard off the court. My personality is outgoing and spontaneous. I love to laugh with the team and play the game. Other times I go to the court just to put up shots. What makes me different is my honesty, reliability, and understanding. Basketball is a team sport and I know that it comes with a lot of ups and downs but it is my passion and I will forever love this game.
