2009 Outlook
Redshirt freshman Steven Osborne enters fall camp looking to position himself for playing time in a young Nebraska receiving corps. The 6-4, 200-pound Osborne is among several young contenders at the spot who will look to partially fill the void left by the graduation of Todd Peterson and Nate Swift—two of the top five receivers in school history.

Osborne and his brother, Courtney, are one of three sets of identical twins on the Nebraska football squad, joining fellow redshirt freshmen Colin and Conor McDermott and freshmen Jake and Spencer Long.

Before Nebraska (South Garland HS)
Steven Osborne joined his twin brother Courtney in the Huskers’ 2008 signing class. They were just the second set of twins ever to sign letters of intent with the Huskers, joining Josh and Daniel Bullocks who signed with the Huskers in 2001. The Osbornes were two of nine Texas natives in the 2008 class, marking the most players ever signed from the state in one season by Nebraska.

Steven Osborne provided a big receiving target for South Garland High and Coach Mickey Moss, helping the school to a district title and a 10-2 record. As a senior, Osborne caught 38 passes for 601 yards and 10 touchdowns. His play did not go unnoticed as the Dallas Morning News ranked him as the No. 49 prospect on its Area 100 list. In addition to Nebraska, Osborne also visited UNLV, and received scholarship offers from Utah, Kansas and SMU among others.

Personal
Steven was born on Jan. 15, 1990, and is the son of Sandra Osborne. He has not declared a major. Osborne has volunteered his time at the F Street Recreation Center and with hospital visits.
