Deuntae Burgess of Mulberry High School is the Florida Player of the Week

Congratulations to Deuntae Burgess of Mulberry High School for being voted the scoutSMART Florida Player of the Week for November 14-20th!

The senior running back has been an impact player this year and has really stepped up to help the Panther’s get to their 6-4 record. Burgess has over 400 yards, 7 touchdowns and 12 tackles this season. His drive, work-ethic and discipline showed up as he bounced back from an ankle injury earlier in the season.
