Schools are reopening soon and Auburn cornerback [autotag]D.J. James[/autotag] is doing a giveaway to help local families. James will be giving away backpacks and school supplies to students he announced Sunday on Twitter.

The event will take place on Saturday, July 22 from 10-11:30 a.m. at the Covington Recreation Center in Opelika. The Covington Recreation Center is located at 213 Carter Ave., Opelika, AL.

“In an effort to giveback and assist the cities of Auburn and Opelika, I am providing book bags and school supplies to students,” he tweeted. “Truly thankful I am in a position to help!”

The Mobile, Alabama, native is entering his second season with the Tigers after starting his career at Oregon. He is expected to be a starting corner and it is easy to see why he is so popular with the Auburn faithful.
