Rosser was born in Olongapo City, where his father James Rosser and mother Gina Ganuelas met. James is a retired U.S. Navy who was stationed in Subic Bay for many years. But the Mt. Pinatubo eruption in 1991 forced the Rossers to move to San Diego when Matt was just two years old. When he was six, he started to love the sport of basketball. When he went to middle school, his potential slowly began to show. He played four years of high school basketball in Temecula Valley High School where he was the tallest player on the team. Scouts from various Division I colleges started to notice him. But a knee injury sidelined him in his senior year where he missed 15 games. Despite of the injury, he averaged 18 points and 10 rebounds per game.
