About Josh Rosen
Joshua Ballinger Lippincott Rosen was born February 10, 1997, in Manhattan Beach, California. The 6-foot-4 quarterback burst onto the national scene as the first true freshman to ever start a season opener for the UCLA Bruins. His nicknames — “Chosen Rosen” and “The Chosen One” — stem from his time as the top recruit in his class out of St. John Bosco High School, where he was a USA Today High School All-American and Player of the Year.
Before ever taking the field, however, he was a standout tennis player. Rosen was the No. 1-ranked player in his age group in Southern California and a top-10 player in the junior rankings. He made the switch to football just prior to the start of his high school career.
Rosen grew up in a Jewish household and had a bar mitzvah, and was named the Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame’s Male High School Athlete of the Year before heading to UCLA.
