Ledo Pizza is partnering with University of Maryland wide receiver Dontay Demus Jr. to use his name, image and likeness in its first-ever NCAA sponsorship.

Demus will also serve as a Ledo Pizza ambassador through Dec. 15, according to a press release.

Demus is ranked 11th in the country in receiving yards and receiving yards per game, along with the most receiving yards in the first four games of the season by a Terp since the 1993 season. He was also named to the 2022 Reese's Senior Bowl Watch List, 2021 Biletnikoff Watch List, 2021 Pro Football Focus Preseason All-Big Ten and more. In addition to his impressive records and recognitions, the star player caught a pass in 25 straight games — the 14th-longest reception streak in the country and fourth-longest in Big Ten.

"We're excited to kick off our NCAA partnerships with Dontay and are honored to be able to team up with such a highly touted receiver in the 2022 draft class," Ledo Pizza CEO Jamie Beall said in the release. "As the official pizza of the Maryland Terrapins, it couldn't be a better fit to have him rep our brand. We can't wait for fans to join us in cheering on the Terps at their next home game!"

Earlier this year, Ledo Pizza announced a partnership with the University of Maryland Athletics to sponsor men's football, basketball, soccer and lacrosse teams. Ledo Pizza's special in-stadium offer — eight-inch cheese and pepperoni pizzas — is available at all home games.

Ledo Pizza operates more than 100 locally-owned locations in seven states.
