The rugby prodigy who could be snapped up by the NFL

Two years ago, Tyrese Johnson-Fisher was running riot in an under 15s Rugby Union match for Oakham School. Having been tipped as a future star of the game, it now looks like he could be snapped up by the NFL.

Tyrese has been selected as the only international student to play in a prestigious High School American football game in Florida in January, having never actually played the game himself.

He told 5 live that he just 鈥渓oves being out on the pitch鈥 and that he watches plenty of NFL videos on YouTube, alongside studying for his A-levels.
