per Greder:
Winston DeLattiboudere has made multiple visits to local elementary and middle schools during his five-year tenure as a Gophers defensive lineman. The senior from Baltimore reads books and play games with the kids.
Now, DeLattiboudere has hatched an even bigger plan. With his initiative, the Gophers will host a school-supply drive for fans to donate items during its open practice at 4:15 p.m. Friday at the outdoor fields at the Athletes’ Village.
The supplies — notebooks, pens, pencils — will be gifted to the Hmong International Academy in Minneapolis, where DeLattiboudere has volunteered, and the Rock Primary School in Jamaica, where DeLattiboudere’s family has roots and relatives.
“Education is the biggest thing in a child’s life,” said DeLattiboudere, who has an undergraduate degree in sociology of law, criminology and deviance. “The more educated you are, the better equipped you are for anything that you want to go into. … I want to be able to affect kids way earlier than a lot of people look to affect them.”
