Early life
Demetrius Dallas, Jr. was born in Brunswick, Georgia, on September 16, 1998. He attended Glynn Academy in Brunswick, becoming a starter at wide receiver on the football team in his sophomore year. He played all over the field while in high school, at wide receiver, running back, quarterback, kick returner, punt returner, and even on defense. He was named a first-team all-region 3-5A wide receiver in his sophomore year. As a junior, Dallas led Glynn Academy to a Class 5A State Championship appearance for the first time in over 50 years, amassing 678 passing yards, 1,139 rushing yards, 147 receiving yards and 22 total touchdowns over the course of the season and being named region 3-5A player of the year.

Throughout his high school career, Dallas amassed a total of 1,599 passing yards, 2,502 rushing yards, 779 receiving yards, 430 return yards and 55 touchdowns.
Dallas was considered one of the top recruits coming out of high school, claiming a spot in the top-300 players of the class of 2017 by ESPN. Because of his versatility on the field, Dallas was listed as an athlete, but most experts thought he would do best as a wide receiver or defensive back. Most recruiting websites had Dallas as a four-star athlete. Dallas had offers from Georgia, Alabama, and others, but ultimately chose to play at Miami under head coach Mark Richt.
