A University of Nebraska freshman punter’s first media appearance quickly went viral – not for what he said about football, but for an emotional moment about his life off the field.
When asked about being away from home during the Aug. 12 press conference, 19-year-old Archie Wilson shared a candid response about how being far from his family has impacted him.
"Yeah, that part’s hard, I’m sorry," Wilson said before breaking down in tears and placing his head on the table.
Wilson is from Frankston South in Victoria, Australia – making his family 15 hours ahead of his location in Lincoln, Nebraska.
"I love them a lot. I got two little brothers, and my mom and dad. That's the tough part about being here. I love them a lot and I miss them."
