Chris Fowler is one of the few broadcasters who commanded a Studio and handled play-by-play.
From 1990 to 2014, Fowler was the host of College GameDay, where he seamlessly wove a tapestry of different opinions in a lineal cohesive fashion. However, as much as he showed he could be the gold standard of the role, in 2014, he took over as the lead man for the ABC/ESPN game of the week.
Fowler’s measured approach and knowing when to elevate his excitement is a masterclass in building to big moments. Fowler’s work on College Football’s biggest stage weekly, including the College Playoffs.
He also became one of tennis’ primary voices for ESPN’s coverage, regularly calling Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, and the Australian Open.
We are proud to nominate Chris Fowler for the United States Athletic Hall of Fame.
