If you’ve lived in the northwest and paid any attention to sports at any point in the last 20 years, you likely familiar with Jordan Kent. From winning track and basketball championships in the early 2000s at Churchill High School in Eugene to playing football, basketball and track at the University of Oregon to being drafted by the Seattle Seahawks, to running his own youth skills camps to working in a number of capacities for NBC Sports Northwest, Kent is truly invested in northwest sports culture.
And now, that investment is paying off.
The Trail Blazers announced Monday that Kent will become the team’s full-time television play-by-play broadcaster once the 2020-21 season starts (reportedly some time in late December).
