Former LSU running back Leonard Fournette has signed a deal with the mega sports clothing and apparel company Under Armour, and he'll hold a pep rally at St. Augustine High on Wednesday announcing the partnership.

Fournette will celebrate his birthday - he turned 22 today - during the pep rally at his alma mater in New Orleans, as well as taking questions from students and introducing a new award named in his honor.

"During the pep rally, Leonard, with Under Armour, will reveal 'BUGA 5,' an award that will be given annually to five St. Augustine coaches, administrators and students who exemplify the traits of Fournette’s “Being United Generates Attitude” mantra," a statement from Under Armour said. "The award is a nod to the inspiring roles that St. Augustine and the New Orleans community played in his development both on and off the field, as Leonard looks to use his birthday to give back to the school, rather than receive."
