We had the good fortune of connecting with Luke Brumm and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Luke, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
The people who came before me. I love college football so much and seeing guys cover it for a living and actually make money to watch and travel to these games really made me jealous. Guys like Kirk Herbstreit, Josh Pate, and even Brent Musberger before them. They have my dream job and I’m trying to get where they are.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I work as a journalist & social media manager for Mike Farell Sports and Gamecock Digests. gamecocks Digest is the University of South Carolina’s Sports Illustrated website. Mike Farrell was the head recruiting director at Rivals for a long time before starting his own company. I write articles on college football as well as attend high school games with sideline media passes to see the top recruits play. I get video content of the game to post later on the social medias. I am also a Senior at the University of West Georgia and will be graduating in December with a major in Sports Management and a minor in Marketing. Along with all that, I work as a Fan Ambassador at the College Football Hall of Fame. I believe my knowledge of the game and desire to create connections and meet new people sets me apart and has helped me so far. I was very fortunate to have been given a chance by Mike Farrell and I have been able to grow because of him. It hasn’t been easy and I am nowhere near where I want to be, but I am going to continue to work until I am. I am dedicated to trying to help revolutionize the way sports are covered, and I am hopeful to make that happen one day.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
