Leonard Fournette has a new endorsement deal.
The former LSU running back has signed a deal with fitness clothing and accessories company Under Armour. ESPN’s Darren Rovell first reported the news, and Under Armour officially announced it in a news release Wednesday morning.
“Today is just the beginning of the great things Under Armour and I will do together, including our joint commitment to my alma mater,” Fournette said in the release. “It means so much that I can give back to the school that helped shape and prepare me for my future.”
The New Orleans native will sign a multi-year deal, according to Under Armour, and plans to give back to his former high school.
“As part of the multi-year partnership, the ‘BUGA 5’ is revealed and will be awarded annually to five St. Augustine coaches, administrators and students who exemplify the traits of Fournette’s ‘Being United Generates Attitude’ mantra,” according to the news release. “Those five people who demonstrate a positive attitude … will be awarded Under Armour prize packs and the opportunity to travel to and experience an NFL season game each year.”
The Baltimore-based company represents NFL athletes such as Tom Brady, Cam Newton and Demaryius Thomas.
Fournette signed a management deal with Roc Nation Sports last month and is expected to be a top-15 pick in the NFL draft.
