BYU football: How a former security officer for Lil Pump landed on BYU's radar

PROVO — Scholarship offers to play college football usually are the result of countless hours of practice and workouts, which often begin at an early age. Then there's the story of BYU offensive line commit Rocky Aitogi, who didn't begin playing football until the ripe age of 22.

Nine games at Fort Scott (Kansas) Community College is all the playing experience the 6-foot-7, 345-pound Hawaii native has on his résumé, but that didn't keep the recruiters away. His first FBS offer came just five games into his playing career.

Aitogo is set to arrive in Provo in December, where he plans to spend his final two years of college eligibility.
