Broadcast teams released in partnership with Van Wagner.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – NM State Athletics, in conjunction with multimedia rights holder Van Wagner, has announced its broadcast teams for the fall and winter in 2025-26 for both ESPN+ and radio broadcasts. The spring broadcast teams will be announced at a later date.
 
Adam Young continues as the television play-by-play broadcaster for volleyball, football, women's basketball and men's basketball on ESPN+ in the Fall and Winter. He'll be joined by veteran analysts Kelsi Meredith (volleyball), Danny Knee (football), Patrick Knapp (women's basketball) and Rus Bradburd (men's basketball). All four analysts have worked alongside Young for the last seven-plus years. Meanwhile, Kelly Horyczun, a Sports Anchor/Reporter from KTSM Channel 9 in El Paso, will join Young and Knee as the sideline reporter on the four home ESPN+ broadcasts for Football.
 
Young will split play-by-play duties for women's soccer with former New Mexico play-by-play voice Scott Galetti, as well as Duke Keith, who is the voice of the El Paso Locomotive and has filled in for Aggie games in the past. They'll be joined by returning analyst and former UMass All-American, Heidi Moccia.
 
On the radio side for football, Young will take over the play-by-play of football for each of the six regular season road games as well as the two midweek home games in October that are not in-house Aggie Vision productions, instead airing on CBS Sports Network. For the four football home games in which Young will be handling television play-by-play, veteran Jeff Matthews will fill in and handle the play-by-play on the radio. Young and Matthews will be working with a rotation of analysts throughout the football season. Cory Lucas, Bob Sherman and Danny Knee will make up the 12-game regular season schedule in the football analyst role.
 
On the radio side for men's basketball, longtime Minor League Baseball and Division I broadcaster Russ Langer takes over on the play-by-play for the entire schedule. Langer is currently a broadcaster for the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators and formerly broadcast games at UNLV. Returning as the analyst on the radio is Anita Maxwell Skipper, who still holds the record as the all-time leading scorer for NM State women's basketball.
 
NM State's in-house production team, Aggie Vision, will continue to produce 70+ events on ESPN+ throughout the 2025-26 athletics year, while Aggie football and men's basketball will continue to air on flagship station 99.5 FM KXPZ, Zia Country, as well as streaming online at ziacountry.com.
 
In addition to English radio for football and men's basketball, Spanish radio broadcasts will be available once again this season for football and men's basketball home games. Abel Rodriguez will have the play-by-play of those broadcasts, airing on 96.7 FM La Equis.
