A NEW BULLDOGS VOICE: Josh Brock, a former Georgia lineman, has been named a color analyst for Bulldogs Sports Network’s Georgia football broadcasts.
Josh Brock, a former Georgia offensive lineman whose grit and understanding of the game helped anchor the Bulldogs’ offensive line during the early 2000s, is returning to the program—not in pads or cleats, but with a microphone in hand. The University of Georgia recently announced that Brock has been named the new color analyst for the Bulldogs Sports Network’s Georgia football broadcasts, a role that will place him alongside play-by-play veteran Scott Howard in delivering game-day commentary to fans across the state and beyond. Brock’s appointment marks a new chapter in the broadcast tradition surrounding Georgia football, one of the South’s most storied programs, and signals a commitment to keeping the voices that tell the Bulldogs’ story deeply rooted in the culture and experience of the team itself.
For Brock, the transition from offensive line to broadcast booth might seem like a leap, but it is in fact the natural progression of someone who has remained close to the game in the years since his playing days ended. His voice, while new in this particular capacity, is not unfamiliar to followers of Georgia athletics. Over the last decade, he has worked in various roles as a television analyst for college football and other sports, most recently contributing to coverage on regional sports networks and national broadcasts alike. That background in media, coupled with his deep understanding of Georgia football’s culture, strategy, and nuance, makes him uniquely qualified to step into the role once held by other Georgia greats.
Brock’s time on the offensive line under head coach Mark Richt was marked by a tenacity and quiet leadership that defined the Bulldogs’ approach in the early 2000s. A native of Cartersville, Georgia, Brock was not the flashiest player on the roster, but he was a reliable and intelligent presence—attributes that served him well on the field and will now translate to the booth. His perspective as a former player provides him with insights that go beyond what meets the eye: the shifts in line technique, the disguised coverages, the subtle changes in momentum—all the components that often go unnoticed by the casual fan but make the difference in a game.
In joining the broadcast team, Brock follows in the footsteps of other former Bulldogs who have used their post-playing careers to stay involved with the program and its fans. Georgia football has long understood the value of continuity—of ensuring that the voices interpreting the action are not only knowledgeable, but deeply connected to the red and black legacy. This continuity resonates with the fan base, a fiercely loyal and deeply invested community for whom Georgia football is not just a pastime but a generational bond.
As the color analyst, Brock’s responsibilities will go beyond calling out formations or identifying blitz pickups. His role will be to humanize the game—to bring context, emotion, and depth to what unfolds on the field. Color commentary is at its best when it can explain not just what is happening, but why it matters. It’s about tone, rhythm, and timing as much as it is about strategy. Brock’s even-keeled demeanor, coupled with his authenticity and firsthand experience, gives him the tools to deliver commentary that is both informative and relatable.
There’s also a storytelling component that Brock will bring to the table. Great broadcasters understand that every game is a narrative, with characters, conflicts, and arcs. Who better to help tell the story of Georgia football than someone who has lived through the tension of the SEC schedule, who has played in front of a packed Sanford Stadium crowd, and who knows what it feels like to wear that iconic “G” on the side of his helmet?
The timing of Brock’s appointment is also significant. Georgia enters the 2025 season as a perennial national championship contender under head coach Kirby Smart. The Bulldogs have transformed into a modern college football dynasty, with elite recruiting, state-of-the-art facilities, and a fan base that expects excellence week in and week out. As such, the demands on the broadcast team are higher than ever. Listeners are more informed, more engaged, and more connected to the game. They want insight, not clichés. They want a voice they can trust. Brock’s presence in the booth ensures that the quality of the on-air product will keep pace with the on-field success.
His chemistry with Scott Howard will be one of the early elements to watch. Howard, who has been the voice of the Bulldogs since 2009 and worked alongside legendary broadcaster Larry Munson before that, brings a wealth of experience and a deep sense of tradition to the booth. The rapport between play-by-play announcer and color analyst is crucial—the best pairings feed off each other’s energy, anticipate each other’s thoughts, and create a rhythm that makes the broadcast feel natural and compelling. Early indications are that Brock and Howard share a mutual respect and a commitment to excellence that will serve them well as they navigate the highs and lows of the upcoming season.
Brock’s appointment also reflects a broader trend in sports media: the increasing reliance on former athletes to provide depth and insight that goes beyond surface-level analysis. While not every former player makes a good broadcaster, the ones who succeed—those who can translate the physical language of the sport into accessible and engaging commentary—bring a level of authenticity that is difficult to replicate. Brock fits that mold. He understands the culture of the SEC, the rivalry games that define a season, and the mentality required to succeed at the highest level of college football.
Beyond the booth, Brock’s involvement has the potential to deepen the connection between the current team and its alumni base. Georgia’s football family is extensive and passionate, and voices like Brock’s help bridge the gap between generations. His presence is a reminder that the Georgia program is not defined solely by the players on the current roster but by a long lineage of men who helped build its foundation. By stepping into this new role, Brock becomes a steward of that history—a guide for fans through the present moment while honoring the program’s past.
Fans can expect a blend of technical insight, authentic emotion, and a player’s-eye view of the game. Brock’s commentary will likely emphasize the fundamentals—line play, adjustments at the line of scrimmage, in-game strategy—while also offering a sense of how players are reacting to pressure, success, and adversity. He’s likely to be particularly adept at explaining the physical and mental toll of the game in ways that resonate with both longtime fans and newer listeners.
There is also the element of growth to consider. Like any new role, being a color analyst requires time to find rhythm and voice. The booth is a performance space in its own right, and though Brock is no stranger to television, the weekly cadence of radio broadcasts and the need to paint a vivid picture for listeners—often without the benefit of visuals—presents a unique challenge. Still, all signs point to Brock embracing that challenge with the same work ethic and poise that defined his playing days.
For Georgia fans tuning in this fall, the sound of Saturdays will have a new tone, a slightly different cadence, but a familiar heart. The voice may be new, but the message—of toughness, tradition, and pride—remains constant. Brock, who once helped protect Georgia quarterbacks from SEC pass rushers, now helps protect the integrity and insight of the Bulldogs’ on-air presence, giving fans a deeper look into the game they love.
As Georgia football continues to thrive under Kirby Smart and the expectations remain sky-high, the addition of a thoughtful, informed, and passionate analyst like Josh Brock strengthens not only the broadcast but the broader sense of what Georgia football represents. It is not just about winning games. It’s about how those games are experienced, shared, and remembered. With Brock now helping tell that story, Bulldog Nation can be assured that their Saturdays will sound just as strong as they look.
