In the hopes of giving back to one of their own, Gainesville football team members set up a donation collection for the family of former linebacker Devan Stringer and La’Kiera Smith, who tragically lost their 11-day-old daughter Monday. Coaches accepted donations in a small pail in Gainesville’s football offices prior to Wednesday’s practice to help pay for the memorial services for Noelle Marie Stringer. Devan Stringer, a sophomore linebacker for Appalachian State, helped lead the Red Elephants to a state semifinal appearance as a senior in 2013.
