“We just received the uniform of @ASUFootball’s Peizhang “Jackson” He; the 1st Chinese-born player to score a touchdown in FBS history!

“He came to Arizona state after moving thousands of miles from his hometown of Shaoguan, China,” the College Football Hall of Fame wrote in a tweet.

The Sun Devil only took up American football after arriving in the US as a 17-year-old, moving to San Diego for high school from his native Guangdong province. He later returned to China and played for Foshan Tigers in the American Football League of China before enrolling at Arizona State.

Hong Kong’s Herman Lam beat Jackson He to historic touchdown by 50 years

He’s touchdown performance saw a huge increase in interest in the sport and a deal to broadcast the next game in China. Tencent showed the ASU Sun Devils play Oregon State on December 19.

His helmet and uniform will be on display until September when the new season begins, The Arizona Republic newspaper’s AZCentral website reported.

It is displayed alongside Vanderbilt kicker Sarah Fuller. She became the first woman to play in a Power Five conference game last November, scoring her first point in December.
