Sean Bennett
Born in Manahawkin, New Jersey, I'm a recent graduate of Oklahoma State University with a bachelor's degree in sports media. Growing up I knew from a very young age that sports broadcasting is what I wanted to go into, and I became consumed in watching everything related to sports and gaining as much knowledge as possible in the field.
During my time at Oklahoma State I worked with numerous productions including ESPN and Fox Sports for college football games. During this time I learned the importance of working as a team and listening skills. I also learned the business of an NFL broadcast when I worked with ESPN for the Monday Night Football game in Kansas City when the Chiefs hosted the Broncos.
I was also lucky enough to be the host for a weekly football pregame show for Oklahoma State football games during the 2017-18 season called "Inside The Lines." While gaining invaluable on-camera experience, I was also able to gain valuable sources within the program and gain insights from Cowboy Football Insider Robert Allen.
During my collegiate career, I was given the opportunity to broadcast numerous games for local high school basketball as well as several OSU Women's basketball games. These games were broadcast on a local television station.
After college, I accepted my first sports broadcasting job at a radio station out of Evanston, WY; where I was responsible for covering two local high-schools and conducted ten interviews every week to air live on the radio as well as prepare for my broadcasts. I would also host my own 30 minute radio show every week recapping the high school action from the previous week.
