    A throwback to past anchors, yet relatable to the modern viewer, SVP oozes likability. Rising through the ranks at the Golf Channel, ESPN hired him in 2001 to be one of their top studio anchors and to continue work on their prominent golf telecasts.

    Van Pelt is also one-half of the successful SVP & Rusillo show on ESPN Radio and previously hosted other top-rated radio shows on the network.

    We are proud to nominate Scott Van Pelt for the United States Athletic Hall of Fame.
