The Voice of the Wildcats just received a very cool honor. Tom Leach is one of five inductees to the Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame (KSHOF). Leach has served as the play-by-play announcer for Kentucky Football since 1997 and men’s basketball since 2001. The 2023 KSHOF class also includes journalist Rick Bozich, former UK diving coach and KHSAA commissioner Brigid DeVries, former Mason County standout and Tennessee star Chris Lofton, and Louisville native and three-time Super Bowl champion Bubba Paris.
The KSHOF was founded in 1963 to recognize athletes and sports figures who are Kentucky natives as well as individuals who participated in their respective sport or made a significant impact in their sport in Kentucky.
