There are walk-ons in college football, and then there are walk-ins.

Put South Alabama center Dominic Esposito in the latter category.

Nearly two years after literally walking into the Jaguars' football complex off the street and asking if he could join the team, Esposito is wrapping up an unlikely college football career. The 6-foot-2, 295-pound senior has started 22 games the last two seasons at USA, including all 10 in 2017 heading into Saturday's game at Georgia Southern.

"That very rarely ever happens, somebody just comes up to you and ends up being a starter and earning a scholarship," USA head coach Joey Jones said.
