He’s long been recognized regionally: for example, the National Sports Media Association named him Utah Sportscaster of the Year in 2021 .
His career is highlighted on Wikipedia and BYU’s official site—citing his decades of play-by-play work—but there’s no mention of a recent national award .
There’s also no coverage in mainstream outlets (ESPN, Sports Illustrated, AP, etc.) about him receiving a “national broadcaster of the year” honor.
This appears to be false or misleading—likely exaggerated or entirely unfounded. No reputable source confirms such a national accolade, and ESPN has not reported it.
