 Hey what's up you guys, quick word, thank you first of all for watching this video, thank you for the incredible support that you've given me over the years, it doesn't matter if you've watched one video or you've watched a hundred or you've watched a thousand because there is almost two thousand videos on the channel, thank you so much. The time has come, the time has come for me to create a reaction based channel. I asked you guys the question, over eighty percent of you said you would be interested so I've decided to take the leap of faith and create a brand new channel, zero subscribers, zero views. This will be, this video you're watching right now will be one of probably the last five or six reaction videos you will ever see on this channel based around the rugby player reacts title. I'm officially retiring my series titled Rugby Player Reacts. In the future I will be putting all of my reaction videos on my second channel, Jake Reacts. I wish you all the best, I hope that I'll see you there. If you do want to subscribe please do, the link is in the description box below. Like I said this is going to be one of the the last reaction videos you'll see on this channel. I'm going to put my heart and soul into this new one and I'd absolutely love your support. If you enjoy my videos I know you'll enjoy these ones. I'm in Rockhampton now, this is my new environment. You'll see all of that plus more on my new channel, Jake Reacts. The link is in the description box below. Thank you so much guys, enjoy the video. Right guys, how are we? What is going on? And welcome back to another reaction video. Today's video is interesting. We're looking at a local, a young local. In fact the video is titled Kiwi NFL hopeful, recruited by a prestigious college, despite never having played a game in the US. His name is Iramia Moore and he's donning the UC Berkeley gear next year after having had three top schools chasing him. Now I'm going to predict that this guy's playing as a lineman. I've not heard of any running backs, I've not heard of any wide receivers come from New Zealand into college football, but you might have and maybe we will hear about them today. So it was only right that we do this being that I am a huge fan of American football and I am a Kiwi so let's get into it. It goes without saying American football is huge in the United States. Next Monday's Super Bowl will attest to that and in some parts of the US college football is the number one game, even bigger than the NFL and next season Iramia Moore will be part of what is remarkable is that he has only played what he describes as club football here before he headed to the US. It hasn't even played a proper game over there yet he had three top universities chasing him. Well he butchered that but it's all good. All the universities were offering full scholarships, the universities UC LA, the University of California Berkeley and Duke. Yesterday Inamia made his pick, he joins us now from Los Angeles. Morena Inamia, thank you so much for joining us. Morena. Morena. What did you pick? Where are you? That means good morning. Well I decided to go to California Berkeley. Amazing, nice work brother. Congratulations, how does that feel? Man it's amazing it's a lot of relief off my shoulders from the recruitment process and you know I'm just blessed to be in this position. This is a crazy story right so you grew up here in New Zealand, where did you grow up? Tell us about your life here in New Zealand? I grew up you know I'm always going to say I'm from Potidua that's where my family's from that's my roots, Kansas Creek and I grew up in Hamilton from five until 16 and then I moved out here in September in 2019. And what made you move to the US because you wasn't like grid on American football was a massive part of your life here in New Zealand was it? No sir I just played football in in Hamilton for a little bit and I thought it was really fun and I wonder what position he is and I was just blessed with the opportunity to go to the high school out here and it was very prestigious and you know I just wanted to take the big shot and give it a crack. Okay so he went to high school in his final year. It was a little bit crazy over in the US right because when you go over there you you moved over without your family which means you weren't actually able to play there's some rules around it right? Yes sir so because I was an international student I had to sit out for 365 days before I could actually play my official first game but due to COVID there are 365 days. Oh my god you can hear his accent changing. A couple more years mate you'll be a full blown American. So it was notified and I couldn't even play in because now he's been serving head off season. So yeah without playing any games for two years how do you have three US colleges chasing you to play for them? Well I just say that that's all God's work and you know I'm very blessed to be in this position by just working hard working my butt every day and just staying dedicated not only on the field and athletically but you know I'm going to stay focused academically as well and I've just been very lucky to go to such a prestigious school and they have really good career in school and I've gone to as many camps as I can and hopefully try to show that I have a lot of talent either without playing. What made you choose University of California? I decided to pick UC Berkeley because you know I had a great relationship with the coach. The academics is off the chart. You see that step? Relationship with the coach. The academics is off the chart and the football there is amazing too. I get to play in the Pac-12 which is one of the biggest conferences in the country and not only that but I have so much positional versatility so I get to move around in the field and I love that about that and I'm super excited for the future. How far can you take this? What's your hope? What's your dream? My dream is to make it into the NFL and not only make it into the NFL but I want to be the whole family. I love that. You've got to aim high, right? I love that. So you've got a game plan, you're going to work hard, right? Sorry. How important has your family been? You're fine, I must have been huge, right? And they must be backing you all the way. Sir, it was tough at some point especially with COVID. Recruiting was hard and I didn't know if I was going to get there but with God's work and with my family I've just been blessed to be able to have a big support and for my backing and just from people backing me and you know my mom has always been there for me and I just I love my family for that. They've always been there unconditionally and that's the most important thing. Hey, Inamir, you now have the entire country behind you and people who have never ever paid any attention to college football I think are going to be all of a sudden going out and buying University of California merch. They're going to be backing you all the way, brother. I appreciate it. Hey, good luck. We're going to be following you, all right? We're going to keep checking in with you. Is that okay? Yes, sir. Amazing. Hey, good luck. All the best. Study hard, play hard. Yeah, we wish you all the best. That is Inamir Moira, a new University of California football recruit. What a great story. What a great story. Look, he butchered up the star. I'm not going to lie, but he got it there in the end and that man that man has some some real manners about him. He's polite. He's sounds like he's certainly humble. I believe I do believe that he's he's learned to say sir in America at the high school that he went to and it only you know adds to you know what I love about a big guy like that is being able to speak with such you know politeness really he's what I'd consider a gentle giant although I don't even know how big he is. He looked undersized for his position and as he suggested at the college that he's going to they're gonna you know he does have versatility they're gonna use him across the field in fact they might even have him at linebacker and that my friends is exciting. Anyways with that being said I hope you enjoyed that. I hope you can get behind our man Itamiya more and I certainly will be so for all you UC Berkeley fans out there please let me know down in the comment section below this is exciting for me it's exciting for you and it's exciting for the world of college football if they can play this year fingers crossed. Anyways in the next one we're actually going back to some some running and we're gonna go to the 200 meter final at the 2021 SEC indoor track and field championships now that is a college meet and I believe we've got none other than our man Matthew Bowling in this so with that being said I'll see in the next one thank you for watching thank you for the support and peace out
