Lake Forest College wide receiver
Dom Esposito made his second appearance of 2026 on the D3football.com Team of the Week on Tuesday.
Esposito caught eight passes for 177 yards and three touchdowns in the Foresters' 45-14 victory at Ripon College on Saturday. He reached the end zone from 54 yards out on a wide receiver screen early in the third quarter and on 26- and 35-yard receptions to put the game away in the fourth. It was the eighth-highest single-game receiving yardage total in team history.
After six games this season Esposito leads the nation with 837 receiving yards and 12 touchdown catches. He also ranks tied-for-third in the country with 72 points scored, tied-for-28th with 6.5 receptions per game, and 32nd with 142.5 all-purpose yards per game.
The victory was the Foresters' program record-tying 13th in a row and the team improved to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in Midwest Conference play this season. Lake Forest is ranked 24th in the nation in this week's American Football Coaches Association Poll and 23rd in the first NCAA Power Index (NPI) list of 2026.
The D3football.com Team of the Week began in 1999 and 29 Lake Forest players have made the list. Esposito is the 10th Forester to earn the honor more than once.
