A.J. Francis Canned Food Drive at This Weekend’s Terps Games

Terps sports fans can also give back to those in need this weekend at the annual A.J. Francis Canned Food Drive at all Maryland Athletics home events.

Francis, a Washington, D.C., native and former UMD defensive lineman, played four seasons of football for the Terps from 2009–12 before notching nine games in the NFL. He will attend each competition throughout this weekend’s food drive.
