Andy Osborne

Saddleback, Sophomore

Football/Linebacker

Osborne, from El Dorado High, has gained much attention as a linebacker at Saddleback. He was an all-Mission Conference pick as freshman and is almost assured of another such honor this season. Osborne had 10 tackles in Saddleback’s 21-21 tie with Golden West on Saturday to move into the top spot on the college’s all-time list with 209. But maybe the biggest play against Golden West was a block that helped teammate Shad Hinchen get free on an 89-yard punt return for a touchdown.
