Tyler Osborne joined the UW staff as a graduate assistant coach in January of 2017. He’ll work mainly with the Husky wide receivers.

Osborne came to Seattle after having spent the last five years at Oregon. He was an undergraduate assistant coach for four years before serving as offensive analyst, focusing on quarterbacks, in 2016. As an undergrad, Osborne spent his first season directly under Chip Kelly and assisted him in coaching the slot receivers. The next three seasons he assisted coaching the Ducks’ quarterbacks. During that time, he helped coach Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota, Vernon Adams and Justin Herbert.

During his time on the Oregon staff, the Ducks went to a CFP national championship game, a Rose Bowl, a Fiesta Bowl and two Alamo Bowls.

Osborne is the son of longtime college football coach Tom Osborne, a former Washington State wide receiver who spent 36 seasons coaching at WSU, Portland State, Boise State, Arizona State and Oregon. The elder Osborne was known mostly as the Ducks’ tight ends and special teams coach for 16 seasons over two stretches.

Tyler attended Shelton High in Eugene, Ore., where he played football and baseball. A wide receiver, quarterback and defensive back on the football team, he helped Sheldon to the state title game in 2011.

Tyler earned a degree in finance and sports business from the University of Oregon in 2016. He’s currently working on his master’s degree in intercollegiate athletics leadership at the UW.
