“I had a lot of influencers,” says Quincy Osborn about his introduction and passion for the sport of wrestling. “My father was a hockey player who transitioned to wrestling. I had an uncle who was a state place-winner and a cousin, Joe Seeger, who was a state champion (1987). My brothers Charlie and Spencer were wrestlers for Grand Rapids High School.

"The tenacity and toughness of the sport appealed to me. Physically, I developed a bit later, so my question was, ‘Am I going to be big enough?’ for school wrestling.”

Osborn was promoted to head coach for the Cobber wrestling program in the spring of 2019. Osborn was originally hired in the summer of 2016 as the team's full-time assistant coach and spent three seasons in that role before being named the head coach.
