Jeff Culhane, Mitchell native and Dakota Wesleyan University graduate, is set to become the new radio voice for the Florida State Seminoles. Culhane was hired by LEARFIELD’s Seminole Sports Properties as Director of Broadcasting.

Culhane has served as the lead radio voice of North Dakota State for the past six years.

“It is truly an honor to be named play-by-play voice for the Florida State Seminoles,” Culhane said. “To follow in the footsteps of a legend like Gene Deckerhoff is an opportunity and a challenge I will look to live up to every single day. My family and I can’t wait to get to Tallahassee and immerse ourselves in all the traditions of Florida State. Go Noles!”

From 2013-2016, Culhane was at West Virginia doing women’s basketball and baseball play by play. He was with Nebraska from 2007-2013.

Prior to his time at Nebraska, Culhane was the play-by-play voice for South Dakota women’s basketball and held multiple broadcasting roles throughout the state from 2001-2007.

Culhane will begin his new role July 1 and will call his first FSU contest Aug. 27 in football’s season opener against Duquesne.
