TREY WRIGHT
The Next Generation In Sports Coverage
BORN IN MAINE. RAISED WORLDWIDE.
EDUCATED IN JERSEY.
My father served 30 years in the United States Navy, and I have lived all over the world, finally settling in New Jersey in 2015, where I have spent eight of my 20 years in. From an early age, I took an interest in sports broadcasting, particularly NASCAR. I created my own short races using matchbox cars and stop-motion animation, and would commentate on the film. As I grew older, I began to evolve my broadcasting to the next level, branching out to high school football baseball and hockey, as well as covering them for my high school paper.
As I entered college at Rider University in the fall of 2021, I was introduced to the on-campus radio station by a mutual friend, 107.7 The Bronc WRRC-FM. From there I was introduced to audio production, and was offered the opportunity to create imaging for the station. I have since recorded over 500 pieces of imaging for WRRC-FM and their online-only sister station 107.7 The Bronc Retro WRRC2. On both stations, I have called games for Lawrence High School’s varsity football and baseball teams.
Outside the radio station, I joined The Rider News sports section, and began covering Men’s Soccer and Wrestling. Through a coworker I was offered to work with Rider’s club ice hockey program as a camera operator, making my way to the Public Address announcer and occasional commentator. In September 2023 I will be taking over the position of Play By Play commentator full-time.

My degree in Sports Media has helped me become a stronger writer, and get an insider's viewpoint on the world of sports. What goes on behind the scenes, and how broadcasts are put together.

I have recorded imaging for both 107.7 The Bronc and 107.7 The Bronc Retro. Ranging from official commercials to award-nominated event imaging, I have put my personal touch on both the Bronc Radio and Retro Radio. Skills I have picked up are a proficiency for Adobe Audition, and an aggressive persistence towards getting tasks done by their deadline. See the AUDIO PRODUCTION page for more content!
