Donell Stanley defies expectations.

For starters, he’s likely the only college student, much less college athlete, to be actively leading a campaign against Fortnite, the wildly popular video game. It’s a regular frustration of his in South Carolina’s locker room, where he says he has started “a verbal petition” to ban it.

“2 things that need to disappear Forever. 1. The Fort Night 2. The Kee Kee song,” Stanley recently tweeted.

“I like to go outside, do things,” he explained to The State.

Mostly, he likes to fish. Anywhere. For just about anything.

He’s happy on the side of a pond in his hometown of Floydale or with charter boat captain James “Boogie” Coates on Lake Murray in Lexington, where The State joined him on one of his recent trips fishing for striper.
