‘I miss them’: Aussie NFL hopeful breaks down when talking about home

Australian teenager Archie Wilson has gone viral after he broke down in tears during a college football press conference while talking about missing home.

The NFL hopeful moved to America to play for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, after auditioning in front of coach Mike Ekeler live on FaceTime, but homesickness has taken its toll on the Melburnian since moving to the United States in June.

“I love them a lot. I’ve got two little brothers and a mum and dad, and that’s the tough part about being here,” Wilson said when asked about his family.

“I love them a lot and I miss them, 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.”
