Ian Napetian

TCU Alum | May 2025 | BA Sports Broadcasting; BA Journalism

Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, I’m a recent graduate of Texas Christian University, where I completed a BA in Sports Broadcasting and a BA in Journalism in May 2025.

I currently serve as the Broadcaster and Media Relations Assistant in my second season with the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs.

I have three years of both radio and TCU play-by-play experience. Most recently, I finished my second season broadcasting TCU Baseball on 88.7 KTCU The Choice. I started in February 2024 and completed my tenure in May 2025.

I also broadcasted all TCU Women's Basketball home games in their historic 2024-25 season, where they advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA March Madness.

Some of my highlights include calling five AP Top 25 matchups, including No. 9 TCU v. No. 3 South Carolina at Dickies Arena.

In addition to baseball and basketball, I've broadcasted TCU Hockey during the 2024-25 season when the team won the TCHC Championship and for Texas United FC of the USL League 2 in the 2023 season.

In addition to play-by-play, I write for various sports outlets such as Athletics on SI and TCU on SI. I started with Athletics on SI in March 2025 and have been with TCU on SI since July 2022. I have worked the 2022 Fiesta Bowl, 2023 National Championship, Big 12 Media Days, and TCU Pro Days. 

I have four years working in radio, which highlights my hosting, producing, and audio editing abilities.

I am a motivated, resourceful and results-oriented person who thrives in demanding situations, willing to take on and learn from the most challenging opportunities.
