“My favorite sport is basketball. I like it so much because that’s all I did was play basketball when I was young. It’s just a fun sport to play,” Gray said. He is a senior at Bob Jones High School.
Deonte has three siblings. His older brother is Diamond Burt, 20, a student at A&M University. His sister Dana Burt, 16, attends Jemison High School. His younger brother Jeremiah Burt, 7, attends James Dawson Elementary School.
