College of Charleston Athletics

“Dontavius is a unique talent, because of his combination of size and skill. He is big, physical and athletic, but he can also shoot the 3-point shot. He has a presence in the paint because of his physicality. His ability to attack the basketball from the perimeter gives him great versatility. He is a high-level rebounder and has the ability to lead the fast break.” – College of Charleston Head Coach Earl Grant
