Email: andrewmgiesler@gmail.com
Andrew Giesler is an undergraduate sports broadcaster at the University of Southern California. He is entering his senior year as a human biology major at the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, with a minor in sports media industries at the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.
Whether it be courtside for March Madness, in the booth calling a USC game on B1G+, or back in the crease as a hockey goalie announcing the game he sees in front of him to nobody, Andrew has always loved sports broadcasting. He sees sports as the ultimate connector between people and loves being the voice that helps bring those moments to life.
Andrew has thrown himself headfirst into the world of sports broadcasting at USC. During the 2025-26 school year, he served as co-Sports Director of KXSC Sports, USC's student radio program, while calling every USC football game — home and road — along with basketball and baseball. He will return for his second year as co-Sports Director in 2026-27 and will once again be on the call for every USC football game this fall.
Andrew has also been a broadcaster for USC's Big Ten StudentU program, calling games on B1G+ across nearly every sport, including basketball, baseball, water polo and volleyball. His work was recently recognized by the Sportscasters Talent Agency of America, which named him an STAA All-American Honorable Mention, recognizing him as one of the top 36 collegiate broadcasters in the nation.
His work ethic extends beyond the broadcast booth. From April 2024 to April 2025, Andrew wrote 198 sports articles for The Sporting Tribune and Annenberg Media, covering events ranging from UFC 311 at the Intuit Dome to the USC-UCLA basketball rivalry at Pauley Pavilion.
In the summer of 2026, Andrew took that passion across the country to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where he served as a broadcaster for the Orleans Firebirds of the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League. While on the Cape, he also brought his "Dingers and Divots" series to life, taking Firebirds players to the driving range for long-form interviews that combined his love of golf with his passion for storytelling and getting to know athletes beyond the field.
During the summer of 2025, Andrew served as a play-by-play broadcaster for the Orange County Riptide of the California Collegiate League, where he also hosted and produced the Ripcurrent podcast. That experience helped further his passion for connecting with athletes and finding the unique stories that cannot always be found on a stat sheet.
When he is not on the mic or reading a biology textbook, Andrew loves being outside with friends, playing golf and staying active. He has run multiple marathons and is always looking for his next challenge.
