Overview
- Kyle Youmans, who was named the Ravens’ play‑by‑play radio voice on Wednesday, will call in‑season radio broadcasts and all preseason TV telecasts with analyst Rod Woodson.
- Youmans succeeds Gerry Sandusky, who retired in April after 20 seasons as the team’s radio voice, ending a long‑running tenure and creating a rare opening in the franchise.
- The 30‑year‑old joins from the Dallas Cowboys’ media team where he produced and hosted more than 1,000 episodes of team content, won multiple Lone Star Emmys, and has prior play‑by‑play experience.
- His Ravens role is broader than traditional game calls: he will lead Ravens‑owned video, radio and podcast content and contribute to Hearst‑owned WBAL NewsRadio, 98Rock and WBAL‑TV.
- The hire closes a public replacement search that drew attention after veteran broadcasters reported form rejections, and it places a new voice at the center of how future Ravens moments will be remembered on radio and digital platforms.
