Background
Growing up in Kingston, Jamaica, Osbourne lived primarily with his grandmother and then his great grandmother. His mother had him when she was 18 and still in school, and his father moved away to England when he was seven. At the age of 9, Osbourne moved to Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York. He would bounce around after that, making a stop in Florida where he played high school football alongside Jacoby Brissett in William T. Dwyer High School.[2] After dropping football for wrestling, he excelled as a member of the school’s wrestling team, where he became a three time state finalist.[11] Osbourne enrolled at Wisconsin's Carroll University, where his high school coach Ben Tomes had just accepted a position. After reaching nationals as a freshman, Osbourne hit a bump in the road, as the wrestling program was shut down the ensuing year.[12][13]
Osbourne works as an assistant teacher for his full-time job.[14]
