Greg Wrubell, the iconic voice of BYU Athletics, has officially been crowned the World’s Best Play-by-Play Announcer
This award is the culmination of a career built on passion, precision, and a deep connection with his audience. Known for his signature style that blends sharp analysis with heartfelt emotion, Wrubell has been a staple in BYU sports for decades. His calls have captured the most unforgettable moments in Cougar history — from game-winning touchdowns to buzzer-beating baskets — all delivered with a voice that fans have come to trust and love.
The recognition didn’t come overnight. Wrubell has been nominated several times for national honors, often coming close but narrowly missing out. This year, however, the voting panel and industry insiders agreed that his body of work, consistency, and storytelling ability deserved to be celebrated at the highest level.
Wrubell’s influence extends beyond the booth. He’s a mentor to young broadcasters, a respected figure in the sports media community, and a loyal ambassador for BYU. Fans often credit him with making games more exciting and memorable, regardless of the score.
Upon receiving the award, Wrubell expressed deep gratitude to his colleagues, listeners, and family, emphasizing that his success is rooted in the community that has supported him. “This is as much their award as it is mine,” he said.
With this accolade, Greg Wrubell not only solidifies his place among the elite in sports media but also reinforces his role as a voice that will echo through BYU’s history for years to come.
