Dari Nowkhah is just as warm and welcoming off camera as he is on.
He proved it this week during an appearance at the Little Rock Touchdown Club. Whether formed by his Tulsa roots or his time spent in small-market TV stops in Montana and Nebraska, Nowkhah has an inviting charm.
First with ESPN, and now as the first-ever SEC Network lead anchor, Nowkhah makes viewers feel like they are talking to an old friend. He’s smooth and knowledgeable without the flash and swagger. He can tell it like it is without screaming like Stephen A. Smith or whining like Skip Bayless.
