Normally walk-on players join college rosters with little to no fanfare. That’s especially true for specialists, many of whom will toil in obscurity for years (unless they’re forced into game action and make a mistake). But every once in a while, someone breaks that mold. That someone is punter Alan Guerrieri, who officially announced his intentions to walk onto the Texas A&M Aggies football team on Wednesday.
I’m extremely blessed and excited to announce that I will be furthering my academic and athletic career at Texas A&M University!! #GigEm pic.twitter.com/6aRkIVfEbd

If that last name sounds familiar, it’s because Alan is the son of longtime Texas A&M soccer coach G Guerrieri.
