I'm Ryan Gerbosi, I was born and raised on Long Island, NY. I have been a sports fan my entire life and joined Bleacher Report during the 2008 Summer Olympics. I am currently a junior at the University of Oklahoma majoring in journalism with a minor in History. I participated in the B/R Summer Writing internship in 2012 and was promoted to Featured Columnist on Oklahoma Sooners Football.

I started writing for Bleacher Report when I was first considering a career in sports media. I had always intended on going toward broadcasting, but I gave writing a shot with bleacher report and found out I wasn't too bad at it.

My family relocated to the D/FW area after I graduated high school so I decided to enroll at the University of Oklahoma (only a 3-hour drive), where I immediately began working at The Oklahoma Daily, the independent student newspaper on-campus. I started as a news intern in my first semester. While on the news desk, I worked on a variety of topics. Due to my interest in sports, I was often given the "it's kinda sports, but not really, so the news desk can do it" stories. This worked out well as I got to do stories on OU's Ultimate team, a student who is a jiu-jitzu world champion, intramural sports and the first ever Quidditch tournament at OU, of which I did a first-person POV story about my experience playing Quidditch. My favorite moment of the semester was when Leigh Anne Tuhoy of "The Blindside" fame came to speak and I got a private interview with her and had my story run above the fold in the next day's paper.

In the spring, I was moved to the sports desk and was made Junior Beat Reporter in Charge of Baseball. I began covering the Top-25-ranked Oklahoma Sooners baseball team. I contributed multiple stories each week, including game recaps, series previews and columns. As part of my duties, I also covered the Bedlam Series games in Oklahoma City in April 2011 at RedHawks field in Bricktown.

Recently, I have been working on developing my multimedia skills as well as improving my writing in classes at Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication at OU. Outside of journalism, I am the Vice President of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity.
