From New Jersey comes a story you have to hear to believe—a college sports know-it-all who landed a full scholarship in order to join his university broadcast team.
If you saw him behind the broadcast desk and behind his big Ray Charles glasses, you might think the game was passing him by—after all, Allan Wylie is blind.
But you’d be fooled, because he doesn’t miss a play.
“I’m reacting to what I hear,” Wylie told CTV news, which originally covered Wylie’s story when he was just a high school senior, and aspiring commentator.
However this year he was accepted as a freshman into the Rown University sports broadcast program to call the Philidelphia 76ers development league team, the Delaware Bluecoats.
Wylie wasn’t given it outright, he auditioned, got the role through a selection process, and is now one of the four on-air commentators.

Neil Hartman who runs the broadcast program at Rowan, said Wyle deserved it, and that he has personally never met a commentator like him.
“‘He’s amazing on the radio, how does he do that?!'” Allan’s father Scott said, reading out a comment made by a listener after his son’s first live game.
