Another new face joins ESPNU – SportsCenter anchor Anish Shroff takes an official seat at the ESPNU desk with Dari Nowkhah beginning this week.  The duo will host everything from college football to hoops along with lacrosse, baseball, softball and more on the 24-hour college sports network.

Shroff is only the fourth anchor for the network since its launch in 2005.

When did you first know you wanted to be in sports broadcasting?
In college, I had the opportunity to do stats for ESPN’s Dave Pasch on the Syracuse University radio network. It was my first taste of being in a press box and seeing play-by-play in action. I was hooked.

What’s on your bucket list?
I love to read and write. I want to find time to write a book…and get it published.

Anything folks at home might not know about your life outside the ESPN desk?
The last scene of the Sopranos was shot in my hometown – I used to go to “Holsteins” after middle school for ice cream.

A part of the Internal Communications team at ESPN, I began with the network in 2010 as part of the College Sports PR team. Always an avid sports fan and not an athlete – I grew up a huge fan of the Hartford Whalers, while also watching my brother compete at different levels. I became the manager of several high school sports teams and continued that hobby into college. While at Quinnipiac, I worked in the Sports Information Department, which led me to a summer internship at the New Haven Ravens, a AA baseball team, and an eventual job with the Athletic Communications Department at the University of Connecticut. After my five-year stint at Connecticut, I spent six years as Director of Communications at the BIG EAST Conference in Providence, R.I. before joining ESPN.
