Whether it’s the NCAA title game or a Friday night high school game, Josh Rosen won’t be crediting Jesus Christ after leading his team to victory and will still be loved respected and accepted by his religious teammates and coaches. The landscape of religion in locker rooms in the United States is changing and it’s a beautiful thing.
Rosen is a junior at St. John Bosco High School (California). He is widely considered the No. 1 one quarterback prospect in the country for the 2015 recruiting class and has committed to UCLA, after receiving offers from Michigan, USC, Texas, Notre Dame and more.

Josh, however, faces a challenge that Schilling didn’t. He attends a Catholic high school and is the son of a Quaker Christian mother and a Jewish father. Josh also professes to be an Atheist. I asked his football coach, Jason Negro, about the impact of Rosen’s beliefs.
“We certainly welcome it. We’re not just a school for Catholic boys,” Negro said. “We are a Catholic school for all boys. Everyone’s common theme here is just be a good person. When you leave here do you represent your school and yourself well?”
