Justin Bosch joined the Valpo football staff prior to the 2024 season. After working with the team’s wide receivers in 2024, he currently serves as the squad’s running backs coach.
During his season as wide receivers coach in 2024, Bosch played a role in the development of true freshman Gary Givens III, who made several highlight-reel catches over the course of the season including a touchdown catch with all zeros on the clock in the season finale against Davidson that helped Valpo win 18-17. That play ranked as high as No. 1 on SportsCenter’s Top 10 plays that evening. Bosch played a role in the offensive staff that boasted All-PFL Second Team running back Michael Mansaray, All-PFL Honorable Mention offensive lineman Tyler Eberhart, All-PFL Honorable Mention and Academic All-PFL First Team running back Ryan Mann and quarterback Caron Tyler, who was a PFL nominee for national Freshman of the Week and had a SportsCenter Top 10 play against Youngstown State.
Bosch served as the wide receivers coach at the University of Rochester in Rochester, N.Y. during the 2022 and 2023 seasons. He spent time as the wide receivers coach at Kenyon College from March to August 2022 after getting his coaching start as the wide receivers coach at Coral Gables Senior High School in 2020.
Bosch was a captain and leadership council member while playing at Kenyon College from 2017-2021. He participated in the NCAA Career in Sports Forum in June 2020 and the NCAA Student-Athlete Leadership Forum in April 2019. He was the Men of Color Chief of Public Relations and Secretary during his time at Kenyon.
