Greg Wrubell is a sports broadcaster based out of Cedar Hills, Utah. He is a commentator for college sports, including football, men's basketball, baseball, and women's soccer for Brigham Young University's (BYU) Sports Network and was the television voice for Utah Royals FC matches on KMYU their first season. He is also the Director of Broadcast Media at BYU.
Wrubell was born and raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where he developed an early love for hockey. He excelled at education and was allowed to skip first grade. He attended high school at Lord Beaverbrook High School. Despite his love of sports, Wrubell found he was not a very good player. Instead he attended choir, drama, and public speaking competitions.[2]
Wrubell's father, Allan, sparked his interest in sports. Allan was the local public address announcer for the Saskatoon Blades. As a result Greg decided to pursue sports broadcasting in college. Greg applied to many schools and eventually chose BYU. At seventeen years old, Greg's first exposure to BYU sports was the 1984 season opener against Pitt, which he watched with his classmates from the Marriott Center.[2] That same week he was hired at KBYU, where his first job as a broadcaster was covering the fencing team.[1]
