“We look forward to having Dan join our IMG team here in Morgantown, said Todd Knisley, General Manager of Mountaineer Sports Marketing. “He brings great experience as a host and play-by-play announcer and Mountaineer fans will enjoy his overall knowledge of sports and play-by-play style.”
Zangrilli joins the IMG Mountaineer Sports Network team after working as the pregame and postgame show host for the Pittsburgh Pirates since 2012 and as a sports update anchor at 93.7 FM, The Fan in Pittsburgh since 2007.
“Growing up in Western Pennsylvania, my first memories of play-by-play on the radio were of Jack Fleming,” Zangrilli said. “To be part of the Mountaineer Sports Network, of which he is the patriarch, is one of the greatest honors a broadcaster can have. I can't wait to get started.”
From 2009-11, he called select football and basketball games for St. Francis College in Loretto, Pennsylvania, and served for three seasons (2008-10) as the director of broadcasting and communications for the Altoona Curve, the Pirates Double A affiliate.
Zangrilli is a 2007 graduate of Clarion University with a bachelor’s degree in communication. While at Clarion, he was a member of the football and men’s and women’s basketball broadcasts for four years. As a junior in 2006, he worked along with Steve Jones on the State College Spikes (New York Penn League) broadcasts. Following graduation, he returned to State College and broadcast Spikes games.
Zangrilli began his broadcasting career in 2001, calling high school football games for the MSA Sports Network in Western Pennsylvania. He replaces Jeff Culhane, who was named the play-by-play voice of North Dakota State.
