Kyle Crooks will take over as the play-by-play announcer calling Nebraska football, NU announced Monday

He replaces Greg Sharpe, who called both from 2007 until his death from pancreatic cancer in early 2025.

Crooks has spent the past eight years calling a variety of Florida sports, including — with varying frequency — men’s and women’s basketball, softball, soccer and baseball. He recently called the Gaytors’ run to the Women’s College World Series.

In 2016 and 2017 Crooks was the voice of a pair of small colleges: Misericordia University in Pennsylvania and Georgian Court University in New Jersey.

He graduated from William Paterson University in 2014 and is from New Jersey.

Dude is really good.

I've got nothing against Kyle, and his clips there sound like he does a good job, but I've always thought college play by play is better with a homegrown announcer who has a lifelong fan's passion.

He'll never be a "lifelong" fan, but he'll be constantly around the team and program and department. He'll grow to become a big fan.

I mean, people have no problem calling UNL grad John Bishop a Pickle Smoochers homer. This guy will be a Husker homer soon enough.

John Bishop

That guy is such a huge bitch.

No doubt. Let's think about his experience here:

Game 1 - Arrowhead with 65,000 Husker fans in attendance.
Game 2- Night game in Lincoln
Game 3 - relaxed non con game in Lincoln
Game 4 - Massive Home game vs. Michigan in Lincoln

Bye week to enjoy his first true Fall Weekend in Lincoln

Game 5 - First Nebraska Homecoming vs. Michigan State in Lincoln
Game 6 - First Big Ten Road game in front dozens of Maryland Fans, but gets to tour the White House and maybe the Smithsonian while there.

Game 7 - First legit Big Ten Road Game - Friday Night at Minnesota in front of a packed stadium - true Fall experience unlike the SEC where its 86 and sticky in Gainesville in Mid October. Get to see 15,000 Husker fans in attendance. - Both teams likely with 5 or 6 wins.

Game 8 - back in lincoln for late October game where he might get to see real weather for the first time.
Game 9 - back in Lincoln for one of the biggest games of the Season - Probable Saturday night game for USC on NBC.
Game 10 - dude likely gets to make his first trip to the Rose Bowl ever - Huskers play UCLA in front of 30,000 Husker fans.

Bye week to enjoy the leaves falling off trees for the first time in his life.

Game 11 - first time ever at Happy Valley. He will begin to love Nebraska here because he realizes every Penn State fan or alum is a piece of shit who deserves your hate and disdain.

Game 12 - day after Thanksgiving day to fucking hate Cockeye with all your being.



So yes, dude will quickly become a Husker fan.
