Josh Rosen College

An economics major, Rosen began taking classes at UCLA in January 2015; he enrolled early so he could take part in spring practice. With three-year starting quarterback Brett Hundley leaving UCLA early for the National Football League (NFL), a large hole was created on the team.

Rosen was UCLA’s best quarterback during the spring, and he continued to compete during summer camp to be the team’s starting quarterback as a true freshman.

On August 26, a week after being publicly criticized by head coach Jim Mora, Rosen was named the Bruins’ starting quarterback

He beat out Jerry Neuheisel, who had three years of experience in offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone’s up-tempo spread offence, which was similar to the offence Rosen ran in high school. The freshman knew as Neuheisel “selfless” for serving to him throughout the competition.

UCLA entered the 2015 season ranked No. 13 by the Associated Press and No. 14 in the Coaches Poll. In the season opener, Rosen completed 28 of 35 passes for 351 yards and three touchdowns as UCLA defeated Virginia 34–16, and he became the first true freshman to start a season opener at quarterback for UCLA.

He was honoured as the Walter Camp Offensive Player of the Week. In a 17–9 win over No. 18 Utah, he broke Drew Olson’s decade-old school record (199) for consecutive passes without an interception.

The victory kept UCLA in contention for the Pac-12 championship entering their regular-season finale against their crosstown rivals, the USC Trojans. However, they lost 40–21 to the Trojans as Rosen turned the ball over three times on a fumble and two interceptions, ending his streak of passes without an interception at 245.

He was named the Pac-12 Freshman Offensive Player of the Year and earned Freshman All-American honours from USA Today, Sporting News, and Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). He was also named The Sporting News’ Freshman of the Year, Pac-12 Conference Offensive Freshman of the Year (coaches), and Pac-12 Newcomer of the Year (AP).

In 2016, Rosen was injured in an October 8 loss to Arizona State Sun Devils, when he threw for a then-career-high 400 yards. He missed the rest of the season with a shoulder injury.

He had surgery on his throwing shoulder to repair soft-tissue damage. UCLA was 3–3 in Rosen’s six starts, and he suffered 13 sacks in the shortened season compared to 14 in all of 2015. The Bruins were 1–5 in the final six games and missed bowl eligibility without him.
