Shortly after he was hired, Alex Golesh won't forget the first familiar sight he spotted in the USF team meeting room on Dec. 4, 2022.

It was the face of offensive lineman Mike Lofton.

"Mike and that big smile,'' Golesh said. "It always makes you feel good.''

Golesh remembered that cheerful look when his previous school recruited Lofton. Plenty of things have changed for the player, who has grown into a rugged center, a gritty ironman and an irreplaceable team leader.
