BOWLING GREEN — When Austin Osborne was in the transfer portal out of the University of Washington, he turned to an old friend.
Bowling Green State University’s star wide receiver wanted opportunity, and that is exactly what he has found in northwest Ohio. He entered the portal in April, and his former high-school teammate began to court his friend to join his team.
That teammate is Falcons quarterback Matt McDonald.
“When Matt reached out to me and encouraged me to join this program, he just told me how special it is here, and how I could come over to Bowling Green and be a part of a program that’s building something really special and being able to contribute to a culture in the locker room that is in an upward, trending direction,” Osborne said this week.
