UCLA took on Boise State on Saturday night in a bowl game officially named the Starco Brands LA Bowl Hosted By Gronk, and that, of course, meant Rob Gronkowski was a notable part of the matchup.
The four-time Super Bowl champion tight end replaced Jimmy Kimmel as the bowl game’s host after signing a multiyear agreement to partner with the bowl, the Associated Press reported back in October. At the time, Gronkowski also said he’d have a special performance for the game, and that turned out to be singing the national anthem.
Although he had some help with the performance from the New Directions Veterans Choir, per USA TODAY Sports, Gronkowski — who was previously a performer on The Masked Singer – came through and sang it before kickoff.

He really picked up momentum at the end.
