Eric Franklin, who will begin his senior year at Archbishop Curley in the fall, received a Division-1 football scholarship offer on Memorial Day, according to Curley head coach Sean Murphy, from the University of Maryland.

Franklin, who plays tight end and free safety for the Friars, was offered as a free safety by Maryland Defensive Coordinator Chris Cosh.

A three-year starter, Franklin stands 6'-2" and weighs 190-pounds.  Last fall, he led the team with six interceptions and he recorded 99 tackles, which was second best on the team.  He was also a starter for Curley's varsity basketball team and he just completed an undefeated track & field season in the 110 High Hurdles, capturing a MIAA title.

Franklin has already been named a Curley football team captain for the 2008 season and he was recently named a Super 22 selection by the Baltimore Touchdown Club.

In college, Franklin plans to pursue an engineering degree.  He is also considering Virginia, Delaware, Duke and Brown.
