At just 19, Archie Wilson is beginning a new chapter in the United States as a freshman punter for the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, he has already drawn attention both for his ability on the field and for a candid moment off it.
Wilson was recruited through the ProKick Australia programme, a specialist training academy that has produced several high-profile punters for US college football and the NFL, including Tory Taylor and Michael Dickson. Standing 6ft 2in tall and studying business administration, he previously played as a key defender in Australian Rules football for Haileybury College before switching sports.
