NM State Athletics has announced its broadcast teams for the 2025-26 fall and winter seasons, in partnership with Van Wagner. The announcement covers both ESPN+ and radio broadcasts, while spring broadcast teams will be named later.
Adam Young will continue as the television play-by-play broadcaster for volleyball, football, women's basketball, and men's basketball on ESPN+. He will work alongside analysts Kelsi Meredith (volleyball), Danny Knee (football), Patrick Knapp (women's basketball), and Rus Bradburd (men's basketball). These analysts have been part of the broadcast team with Young for over seven years. Kelly Horyczun from KTSM Channel 9 in El Paso will join as sideline reporter for four home football games on ESPN+, working with Young and Knee.
For women's soccer broadcasts, Young will share play-by-play duties with Scott Galetti, a former New Mexico play-by-play voice, and Duke Keith, who is known as the voice of the El Paso Locomotive and has previously filled in for Aggie games. Analyst Heidi Moccia, a former UMass All-American, returns to provide commentary.
On radio broadcasts for football, Adam Young will handle play-by-play duties for all six regular season road games and two midweek home games that are not produced by Aggie Vision but instead air on CBS Sports Network. For four home football games where Young is assigned to television duties, Jeff Matthews will step in as radio play-by-play announcer. Analysts Cory Lucas, Bob Sherman, and Danny Knee will rotate throughout the 12-game regular season schedule.
Russ Langer takes over as radio play-by-play broadcaster for men's basketball. Langer currently works with the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators and has previous experience at UNLV. Anita Maxwell Skipper returns as analyst; she remains NM State women's basketball's all-time leading scorer.
Aggie Vision—the university’s in-house production team—will continue to produce more than 70 events on ESPN+ during the 2025-26 athletics year. Football and men's basketball broadcasts remain available on flagship station 99.5 FM KXPZ Zia Country and can also be streamed online at https://ziacountry.com/.
Spanish-language radio coverage continues this season for football and men's basketball home games. Abel Rodriguez provides Spanish-language play-by-play on 96.7 FM La Equis.
