Robbie Bullough

Robbie Bullough is a sideline reporter and a play-by-play broadcaster for BYUtv Sports. He also provides occasional reports on the weekly sports magazine show True Blue.

Bullough is an upcoming sports broadcaster who has called games since he was a high school sophomore in Noblesville, Indiana. Bullough was the play-by-play man for tape-delayed Indiana high school football games from his sophomore year until he graduated. While in high school he also ran cross country and track and held the school course record.

Career at BYU
After graduating high school, Bullough went and enrolled at Brigham Young University. His goal was to get one or two semesters in before serving a mission. During that first semester, Bullough took a class from Scott Hill. Scott Hill was the producer for live sports on BYUtv, so Bullough was forced to hold camera cables for a few live games during that 2005 semester.

Bullough would leave BYU to serve an LDS mission in Mongolia. After returning from his mission, he re-enrolled at BYU. He found a job listing in the Y Jobs catalog asking for people to apply for the production crews at BYU Television. Bullough applied, was interviewed by Hill, and began working as a camera operator in 2007.

After working with the cameras and with the graphics crew for one year, Bullough was moved to the sideline in 2008. His first sideline responsibilities came for a Real Salt Lake Reserves vs. BYU men's soccer game. It was the first of many sideline responsibilities Bullough would have, but it would prepare him for an even greater role that fulfilled his passion for calling live sports- play-by-play.

Bullough would begin serving as the back-up play-by-play man for Jarom Jordan during the 2010 fall sports season, but in 2011 Bullough was promoted by BYU Television to be the full-time play-by-play man for women's soccer (w/ Natalyn Lewis- analyst), occasional women's volleyball games (w/ Kristen Kozlowski- analyst), women's basketball (w/ Kristen Kozlowski- analyst), baseball (w/ Gary Sheide- analyst), and softball (w/ Kozlowski & Sheide- analyst). Bullough would also serve as the regular sideline reporter for football (w/ Dave McCann- play-by-play and Blaine Fowler or Sheide- analyst) and men's basketball games (w/ McCann- play-by-play, and Fowler or Steve Cleveland- analyst). When Bullough is away for football or men's basketball responsibilities, Kristen Kozlowski, Ty Brandenburg, or Jarom Jordan typically step in to do play-by-play.

His senior year at BYU brought Bullough one of the highest achievements possible for a college student. Bullough won second place in a national competition for Television Sports Anchoring from the Broadcast Education Association.

After Graduation
In May 2012, Bullough graduated from BYU. However Bullough remained an employee for BYUtv. He continues to serve as the play-by-play man for the most BYU sports and as the sideline reporter for football and men's basketball games. Bullough even found himself serving as play-by-play man for the BYUtvsports.com production of the 2012 Cougar Tipoff men's basketball game.

Despite a young look, that has seen some people call him a 14-year old and has led many people to believe BYUtv is run by students, Bullough does his best to ask the hard questions during sideline reports and call an unbiased play-by-play.

Bullough hopes to eventually move on from BYUtv and get hired at ESPN, CBS, FOX, or another major sports broadcasting group, but until another company takes interest in him, he is happy to call games for BYUtv and happy that his family back home in Indiana can see him. Robbie and his wife, Anna, currently live in Lehi, Utah.
