USC announced Jordan Moore as their new radio play-by-play voice for the Trojan men’s basketball team.
During the last four seasons, Moore served as the sideline reporter during USC men’s basketball radio broadcasts. Moore replaces Chris Fisher who began as the team’s play-by-play announcer in 2011. Fisher left USC last month after he was hired by Fox Sports and the Oklahoma City Thunder as their television play-by-play announcer.
“Jordan Moore has been an integral part of our radio broadcast team and he has flourished in his various roles,” said Andre Riley, vice president and general manager of USC Sports Properties. “Moving into the men’s basketball play-by-play announcer spot is a natural evolution for him. His breadth and depth of knowledge and expertise around our men’s basketball program, along with his excellent storytelling capabilities, will make our radio broadcasts that much more enjoyable and engaging, and will provide tremendous perspective to our fans and listeners.”
USC did not name a full-time color commentator to pair with Moore, stating that he will be joined by guest analysts during select games throughout the season.
“I could not be happier to take over play-by-play duties for USC men’s basketball from my friend Chris Fisher. I want to thank Lynn Swann and the USC Athletics administration as well as Andre Riley and USC Sports Properties for giving me this opportunity. I believe strongly in the future of the USC men’s basketball program under the direction of head coach Andy Enfield, and I am honored to go on this journey with them.”
Moore graduated from the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism in 2005 and returned to the school 2010 as USC Athletics’ director of social media. In 2013 Moore began serving as USC football’s sideline reporter and pre-game show host.
ESPNLA 710 is the flagship station of USC athletics. The Trojans will begin their men’s basketball season on November 6th in a home game against Robert Morris.
