On Friday, former BYU quarterback and current BYU football broadcaster Riley Nelson announced his resignation as a radio analyst for the BYU football program. Nelson, who played quarterback at BYU from 2009-2012, spent the last four seasons in the department with Voice of the Cougars Greg Wrubell.
“All good things must come to an end,” Nelson wrote on social media. “To me, it’s the side gig of all side gigs. We all face heightened demands in time as life rolls on and sometimes something has to give, that ‘something’ is being with the Cougs every Saturday in the booth.” [Greg Wrubell].”
Nelson began broadcasting BYU football games in 2019. He replaced longtime BYU football broadcaster Marc Lyons, who spent 38 years with the department before retiring after the 2018 season.
Play-by-play announcer Greg Wrubell took to social media after Nelson’s announcement to thank him for his time in the radio booth. “After four excellent seasons like me [BYU Football] shipping partner, [Riley Nelson] leaves the radio booth. I speak for Cougar Nation when I say how much we will miss Riley’s expert commentary; he was as good in the headset as he was on the field. All the best, my friend!”
