About Devinta

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I play with a high motor and strong basketball IQ — aggressive on both ends, but always under control. I adapt to the flow of the game, make smart decisions, and bring consistent energy, effort, and leadership. Whether I’m scoring, locking in on defense, or creating for others, I stay locked in on winning plays.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I’m locked in, disciplined, and competitive. I stay focused on growth, take pride in doing the little things right, and never back down from a challenge. Whether I’m up or down, my mindset stays the same — keep working, keep leading, and keep winning.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Yes I’ve played FLDS and Nola Black Hawks

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I’ve developed strong leadership on and off the court by staying vocal, holding teammates accountable, and leading by example. I understand the value of teamwork — staying unselfish, playing my role, and lifting others up to reach a common goal.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced was learning how to stay focused and motivated through setbacks — whether it was injuries, losing streaks, or getting overlooked. Instead of letting it break me, I used it as fuel to work harder, stay mentally tough, and keep improving. It taught me how to stay locked in, control what I can, and keep showing up no matter what.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college that will push me both on the court and in the classroom. I want a program with a strong basketball culture, coaches who develop players, and a team-first environment. Academically, I’m looking for a school that supports student-athletes and helps me grow in my future career.
