Wittenberg Cheerleading Head Coach Marley Hosier

Marley Hosier joined the staff at Wittenberg University as head coach of the newly created Competitive Cheerleading program in August 2025.

A graduate of nearby Northwestern High School in Springfield and a member of the elite cheer squad at The Ohio State University from 2022-25, Hosier plans to build a program that will compete at a high level immediately while continuing to provide the best in game-day leadership for Wittenberg intercollegiate athletics events.

Hosier was a member of two Ohio State teams that won Universal Cheerleading Association (UCA) national championships in her collegiate career, and she participated in the game-day cheer squads as well, frequently performing before huge stadium crowds full of raucous Buckeye fans on the biggest stages, including major bowl games and the national championship game in January 2025. Hosier brings advanced proficiency in coed stunting, all-girl stunting, college pyramids, college baskets, and elite tumbling, all of which will equip Wittenberg student-athletes with a well-rounded foundation in the sport.

Maintaining a consistent game-day presence at Wittenberg intercollegiate athletics events is also a priority for Hosier. The competitive opportunities and game-day opportunities will work together to create a meaningful experience for all student-athletes who get involved.

“Wittenberg already has a proud tradition of hosting the OHSAA Sideline Cheer State Championships, and I am excited to add to that legacy by offering clinics, sharing my knowledge, and creating new opportunities for athletes to grow,” Hosier said. “My vision is to foster a culture of excellence, teamwork, and spirit that will make this program a source of pride for our athletes, our school, and the entire cheer community.”
