ANNAPOLIS, Md. (Dec. 10, 2021) – Already the Official Pizza of the Maryland Terrapins, Ledo Pizza is continuing to show its support for the athletic program by partnering with Terps basketball player Donta Scott.
The Maryland-based pizza brand is uniting with Scott to use his name, image, and likeness in its second NCAA sponsorship, following a deal with Terps wide receiver Dontay Demus. Scott will serve as a Ledo Pizza ambassador through April. 5, 2022.
The six-foot-eight-inch power forward from Philadelphia is a junior pursuing a major in Family Science. Scott was named to the 2022 Karl Malone Power Forward of the Year Watch List and rated the No. 49 player in the country by CBS Sports for the 2021-22 season. In the 2020-21 season, Scott recorded Maryland’s fifth-highest single-season three-point percentage in school history, shooting 43.8% from behind the arc. Scott also recently authored his first book, “WIRED DIFFERENTLY: My School Journey,” a short story reflecting on his own experiences to encourage young people who learn differently to overcome the obstacles in front of them.
