The 6-foot-5, 200-pound Osborn completed 13 of 21 passes for 240 yards and three touchdowns and ran 16 times for 73 yards and two more scores as Mott defeated Gibraltar Carlson 40-19 in a Division 2 Regional Final – clinching the Corsairs’ first Regional championship in this sport. Mott (10-2) faces two-time reigning Division 2 champion Warren De La Salle Collegiate in a Semifinal on Saturday at Troy Athens.

For the season, Osborn has completed 224 of 307 passes for 3,532 yards and 34 touchdowns (with just six interceptions) and run 214 times for 1,865 yards and 25 scores. The passing yardage ranks 10th in MHSAA history for a single season, and the completions, attempts and throwing TDs all rank on record book lists as well. A three-year starter at quarterback, he’s committed to sign with Toledo and also plays basketball at Mott.
