How to use your personality to get your foot in the door in broadcasting | Marcus Greaves

Marcus Greaves was a running back and a kickoff returner at Oregon State University.

In his senior season, he tore his ACL and retired from the game. His focus shifted from success on the field to success in the broadcast booth. 

After graduation in 2016, he pursued a career in sports broadcasting, leading to his first job at 247 Sports as a football analyst, creating on-camera content covering the Beavers until 2018. He also interned and helped contribute to “Talkin Beavers” at NBC Sports Northwest. Once that was over, he gained experience as a radio personality and play-by-play analyst with 1080TheFan and ESPN Portland before joining KOIN 6 News in July 2019. Marcus is now a sports anchor and reporter for CBS8 in San Deigo.
