Kasey Kazliner's passion for sports broadcasting is derived from his love for storytelling, working with others and producing high-quality content.

 

Kasey's sports broadcasting career began in 2020, when the sports world went on hiatus due to the global pandemic during his ninth-grade year. He started a sports commentary YouTube channel, focusing on Bay Area teams in particular, and amassed over 1,600 subscribers, with multiple daily uploads for the entirety of his high school career.

​

In 2023, Kasey began his college journey at USC, capitalizing on opportunities through the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and beyond. Within his first two years at the University, he's worked with the football team as a recruiting intern; podcasted and reported on two seasons of Los Angeles Kings hockey games as a credentialed media member; broadcast a myriad of USC sports on Big Ten Plus; and more.

​

At the end of his sophomore year, Kasey was named Co-Director of KXSC Sports, USC's official student-run sports radio station. Through this opportunity, Kasey broadcasts all home and away football games, in addition to basketball and baseball home games.

 

Beyond USC, Kasey has worked extensively with the San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer. He became the official beat writer for the Quakes' affiliate team, The Town FC, in 2024, and is a host on The Aftershock podcast as a credentialed media member for Quakes Epicenter.

 

In 2025, Kasey broadcast 45 games for the Walnut Creek Crawdads, a summer collegiate baseball team in the Bay Area. This opportunity allowed him to build a strong relationship with the team, in addition to honing his craft.

 

When Kasey isn't broadcasting, he's often playing the saxophone. He hopes to continue his passion for performing through a career in sports media.​
