The Bobcat Nation

Montana native Riley Corcoran has been named the new "Voice of the Griz." As the voice of Montana Athletics, Corcoran will serve as the play-by-play broadcaster for the Griz football and men's basketball teams, and host those sports' seasonal coaches' shows. "Riley is incredibly talented, and we are certain Griz Nation will embrace his great work and look forward to hearing him week in and week out over the airwaves," said Tom Boman, vice president, broadcast operations for Learfield, UM Athletics' multimedia rights holder.

"We did not take this lightly. We conducted an exhaustive national search to determine the best candidate. We were fortunate not only to find the best talent but someone who has significant ties to Montana."
Grizzly Sports Properties is Learfield's local team in Missoula that works closely with Boman and Montana Director of Athletics Kent Haslam and his administration, and has direct oversight of talent and station affiliates associated with the Montana Grizzly Sports Network. "We welcome Riley to the Griz family and look forward to listening to him call football in a few short months," said Haslam.
"We've been communicating with Learfield regularly during this search process and know they've been extremely diligent in identifying the best talent for our program. We are certainly excited about what's ahead."
Corcoran grew up in Billings and joins the Griz from Montana State, where he served the last three years as voice of the women's basketball program. He also called a handful of football and men's basketball games.
Additionally, Corcoran was a member of the football broadcast team and part of the pregame and postgame shows. He also helped host the weekly one-hour coaches' shows that covered all Bobcat sports.
