D.I.T.R-Donte Botley

Donte Botley is a 5’8″ 140 lbs running back and cornerback for the Kinder Yellow Jackets in Kinder, Louisiana. Donte recently performed well at our camp in Eunice, Louisiana on February 25th. At the camp, Donte ran a 4.91 40, a 4.41 shuttle time and jumping a long jump of 8.6. On film, Donte is a two-way player who has an impact on both sides of the ball. Defensively, he is a cornerback who is not afraid to attack in the run game, and forces turnovers. He is a defensive back who is not afraid to put his head down, and wrap up the runner. The speed he showed at our camp in Eunice easily translates to the field, and he definitely has an impact in the game. Check out our Q&A below!
