I'd like to thank JEN COHEN, Coach PETE, Coach HOPKINS, and STEVE GAHLER for their support and confidence in me through this process. I'm thrilled to be a HUSKY, and to follow in the footsteps of a legend. I'll give my best effort every day to serve well the great administrators, coaches, players, sponsors and many proud alumni and fans of this incredible institution in this dream role."

"TONY is a very talented play-by-play announcer, but he brings even more to the table than that," WASHINGTON IMG SPORTS MARKETING GM STEVE GAHLER added.  "As a digitally-centric, multimedia executive, he will help shape and push UW's brand and message in a new era of football and basketball. He is simply a great guy who will fit with the culture and high standards of UW athletics."
