The Baltimore Ravens announced Wednesday the hiring of Kyle Youmans (pronounced YO-mans), who has been selected as the new “Voice of the Ravens” for the team’s in-season radio and preseason TV broadcasts.
Additionally, Youmans will assume a leading role in all Ravens-owned and operated programming, including video, radio and podcast content. He will also be a regular contributor for various Hearst-owned programming on WBAL NewsRadio, 98Rock and WBAL-TV.
Youmans becomes the third radio play-by-play announcer in the franchise’s 31-year history, following Gerry Sandusky (2006-25), who retired this past April, and Scott Garceau (1996-2005).
Youmans spent the past seven seasons (2019-25) with the Dallas Cowboys’ media team as a TV host, producer and reporter. After joining the organization in 2019, he hosted more than 1,000 episodes of Cowboys content and events. Youmans also handled play-by-play for multiple NFL TV and radio broadcasts, anchored the Cowboys’ NFL Draft content and contributed to the organization’s “Deep Blue” documentary series. As of 2025, he is a four-time Lone Star EMMY Award winner with Cowboys TV.
In addition to his responsibilities with the Cowboys, Youmans has served as a play-by-play announcer for college football and college basketball on Compass Media Networks, calling games in the SEC, ACC, Big 12 and Big Ten. He was also the soundtrack for multiple sports inside the American Athletic Conference, Big 12 and University of North Texas on various ESPN platforms. Additionally, Youmans spent four seasons (2022-26) as the TV voice of the Texas Legends, the Dallas Mavericks’ G League affiliate. Throughout his career, he has called play-by-play for over 750 radio/TV broadcasts.
Youmans will now partner with Pro Football Hall of Famer and Ravens Legend Rod Woodson in the booth for all Ravens gameday radio broadcasts – airing on WBAL NewsRadio, 98 Rock and 14 radio affiliates – and for all preseason TV telecasts (produced by Ravens Productions), which air on WBAL-TV and seven regional TV affiliates.
Youmans is a University of North Texas graduate (2018), originally born and raised in Waco, Texas. He and his wife, Laurina, met during their time at UNT and welcomed triplets (Noelle, Leo and Michael) in February of 2024.
