Archie Wilson came all the way from Australia to play football at Nebraska, and the freshman punter is admittedly feeling a bit homesick.
Wilson recently enrolled at Nebraska after growing up in Victoria, Australia, and playing a different brand of football. The 18-year-old spoke with the media for the first time on Tuesday, and he was asked about his family back home. Wilson became overwhelmed with emotion.
“I love them a lot. I’ve got two little brothers and my mom and dad … yeah, that’s the tough part about being here,” Wilson said. “I love them a lot, but they know this is what’s best for me, and it’s good I can still talk to them plenty over the phone, and they’re coming here to see the first few games, so I’m looking forward to that.”
