Arizona fans will hear a familiar voice today during the Fox broadcast of the Wildcats’ game at ASU.

Sean Elliott, the school’s most decorated player, will call the game. Elliott is one of 17 Arizona sports personalities on the air.

Former Arizona swimmer Amy Van Dyken-Rouen joined the group of former Arizona students and athletes who are in the booth this year with her analysis of swimming on the Pac-12 Networks. Her inspiring story of working her way back seven months removed from a life-threatening ATV accident that left her paralyzed was documented recently on USA Today.

“I want people to know that this injury affected my legs, but not my brain or my mouth,” Van Dyken said. “So, let’s go and have fun with it.”​
