Within no time, RJ Davis has established himself as a top collegiate basketball performer. Through his exceptional skills, Davis has been able to prove himself as a pivotal player for the Tar Heels. North Carolina Tar Heels men’s basketball is the same college where the NBA legend Michael Jordan made his name. Davis is eligible to play another year at UNC or he can announce himself for the NBA draft, but that decision might be made in consultation with her partner.

Yes, RJ Davis has been in a steady relationship with Deja Kelly. She also is a collegiate basketball player representing the North Carolina Tar Heels women’s team. Both of them are considered a power couple at UNC. The 22-year-olds also play as guards for their respective teams.

What’s RJ Davis GF Deja Kelly’s Story?

Kelly was raised in San Antonio, Texas by her single mother Theresa Nunn. Kelly’s love for basketball is also thanks to her parents. Theresa Nunn played for Valley City State University. Kelly’s father Darren Kelly played at the University of Texas. “I had to sacrifice a lot,” her mother told The Daily Tar Heel. “And she was always very aware of that. So I think it almost made her work harder because, for both of my kids, I put whatever I wanted on hold to make sure that they had everything that they needed to be successful.”

Kelly has been in love with basketball since the age of 5. She was originally trained by her mother and started playing varsity basketball at Lady Bird Johnson High School in San Antonio. Later, she transferred to Duncanville High School, for better opportunities. Like her father, she accepted an offer from his alma mater Texas in seventh grade. But she received better offers from Duke and Minnesota and in 2019 she committed to North Carolina.
