- Sydney’s Thomas Yassmin scored for Utah in 109th annual Rose Bowl
- Penn State beat Utah Utes 35-21 to win college football’s biggest game
Sydney-born gridiron sensation Thomas Yassmin made a huge impact on today’s showpiece Rose Bowl game, with the 196cm code-convert scoring Utah’s first touchdown to further his reputation as one of American football’s hottest talents.
As a 17-year-old, Yassmin shelved his dream of making it in rugby league to chase fortune and glory in the NFL in 2018. In college football’s biggest game of the year, the now 22-year-old took a major step toward realising his dream when he caught a pass in the corner of the end zone to touch down early in the 109th annual showdown.
