You can see a bit of Sackville in action here in a video from Pro Kick Austrlaia’s YouTube Account
SMU is no stranger to having an Australian on campus with Sackville’s friend Tom Wilson on the basketball team as well as another Aussie Harry Froling.
The Mustangs have been starved of success on the Football field and these days is probably best know for the ESPN 30 for 30 “Pony Express” the story about SMU received the “death penalty” in 1987 because of repeated NCAA violations, which almost broke the program beyond repair. SMU is located in the heart of Dallas and is one of the most beautiful college campuses in America.
We love to see this kind of news of more Australian’s making it in the USA.
