He takes us through his journey from playing soccer in Japan to playing college football in the United States, and now has his sights set on the NFL 👏

Thank you Hawai’i!!

After a lot of thought and consideration, I’ve decided to enter the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility left.

Mahalo, Billy

▫️takes a trip to US and attends first NFL game at 19 (Rams-Raiders)
▫️loves it and wants to play in NFL

All glory to the most high

[billy gowers @BillyGowers]

No surprises here, just a kid from Japan with a dream. No one deserves these accolades more than Kansei, a humble and dedicated person and footballer. I’ve had front row seats since July to the Tokyo Toe Show, and it’s a pleasure to be apart of it. How are ya

[Kansei Matsuzawa @kan08sei]

Thankful for everyone including myself!

[Sickos Committee @SickosCommittee]

If we had a Heisman vote it would probably go to Billy Gowers

[Kansei Matsuzawa @kan08sei]

When I heard about this I told UH media guy that it’s gotta be scam and hiesman or something. It was the Heisman. What an honor kid from Japan. Thank you for amazing opportunity!
