FARGO, ND (KDLM) – Jeff Culhane, the play-by-play radio voice for NDSU football, men’s basketball, and baseball for the last six seasons, has been hired as Director of Broadcasting for Learfield’s Seminole Sports Properties and will serve as the voice for Florida State football and men’s basketball.
Culhane brings 20 years of multimedia experience to the Seminoles, including roles building radio affiliate networks in addition to broadcasting duties for Nebraska and West Virginia, in addition to North Dakota State.
“Jeff Culhane is an exciting hire for our department and fans,” FSU Vice President and Director of Athletics Michael Alford said. “He is a talented, experienced play-by-play voice who has called many postseason games across multiple sports while also creating content for the programs he has worked with and their affiliate radio networks. This position attracted nationwide interest, and Jeff’s unique abilities continued to rise to the top. I look forward to how Jeff will help tell the stories of our student-athletes, coaches and department through this expanded role.”
While at NDSU, Culhane was the play-by-play announcer for four FCS National Championship Games, two men’s basketball NCAA Tournament appearances, and one NCAA Baseball Regional appearance.
“It is truly an honor to be named play-by-play voice for the Florida State Seminoles,” Culhane said. “To follow in the footsteps of a legend like Gene Deckerhoff is an opportunity and a challenge I will look to live up to every single day. My family and I can’t wait to get to Tallahassee and immerse ourselves in all the traditions of Florida State.”
Prior to his time at Nebraska, Culhane was the play-by-play voice for South Dakota women’s basketball and held multiple broadcasting roles throughout the state from 2001 to 2007.
Culhane will begin his new role on July 1 and will call his first FSU contest on Aug. 27 in football’s season opener against Duquesne.
