He spent 5 years on the campus, winning a National Championship and earning All American honors each year. He was the team captain in 2014 and 2015, and coincidentally won the National Championship MVP during both of those campaigns.

Sumsion, US Eagle #450, made his national team debut while studying at BYU. His first appearance was during a Rugby World Cup qualifying match against Uruguay in late March of 2014. He has gone on to appear an additional 4 times for the squad. Sumsion joined the Sabercats in August of 2017, and captained the team throughout the inaugural season of Major League Rugby.
