Following a 13-year career as a lead play-by-play announcer for CBS Sports, Bolerjack served as the lead play-by-play announcer covering the Big 12 and Pac-12 for FOX Sports from 2011-15. Bolerjack co-hosted “The Big Show,” from 2001 to 2005 and is a now a “Jazz Insider” on 1280, joining various shows throughout the week for Jazz updates.

Before CBS, Bolerjack was at ESPN, where he was a college basketball and football play-by-play commentator. From 1985 through 1998, he served as a sports anchor for Salt Lake City’s NBC affiliate, KSL, winning Sportscaster of the Year honors in 1994.
