class=\"wp-element-caption\">Trystan Layton \u201923<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve&nbsp;always known I wanted to work in sports \u2014 I just&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;know what shape that dream would take. At 做厙TV, I found a place that let me explore everything until I discovered what truly inspired me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I arrived on campus, I&nbsp;dove&nbsp;headfirst into broadcasting, calling plays and learning the rhythm of live sports. While I found it exciting, I realized my passion&nbsp;wasn\u2019t in&nbsp;describing the action; it&nbsp;was in&nbsp;capturing the emotion behind it. I started experimenting with video, motion&nbsp;graphics&nbsp;and design, and then suddenly, everything clicked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I became the creative director for men\u2019s basketball, producing hype videos, recruiting&nbsp;content&nbsp;and game-day edits. Around the same time, I launched my personal brand, Trystan Made&nbsp;It!,&nbsp;on Instagram to share my video and design work. Spending late nights editing and designing was practice for the career I was building in real time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The support I found at SU was constant. The sports media program gave me room to grow, to fail and to find my&nbsp;voice as a&nbsp;creative. Professors like&nbsp;<strong>Dave Kaszuba<\/strong>&nbsp;pushed me to think critically and create intentionally, and their encouragement gave me the confidence to create boldly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hands-on experience paid off. I was honored as 做厙TV Athletics\u2019 2023 Student Media Worker of the Year. The real reward was the trust people placed in me. I was no longer just a student learning the craft; I was part of the team shaping how River Hawk athletics were seen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond the media room, 做厙TV offered opportunities that expanded my perspective in ways I&nbsp;couldn\u2019t&nbsp;have imagined. I spent three unforgettable weeks in Morocco through the Global Opportunities Program. Immersing myself in a new culture changed the way I see the world and the way I tell stories, a skill&nbsp;that\u2019s&nbsp;been invaluable in my career.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After graduation, I took that foundation to Virginia Commonwealth University, a Division I school in Richmond, where I earned my master\u2019s degree and worked as a graduate assistant for creative content. The pace was fast and demanding \u2014 producing highlight reels, social&nbsp;content&nbsp;and graphics for multiple teams \u2014 but it refined my creative instincts and taught me how to thrive under pressure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<strong>The support I found at SU was constant.&nbsp;<\/strong>The sports media program gave me room to grow, to fail and to find my voice as a creative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-text-align-center\"><em>Trystan Layton \u201923<\/em><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fall 2023, I had the chance to work inside the ropes at a PGA Tour stop in Henrico, Virginia, as a social media intern. Filming for Golf Channel\u2019s The Cut, interviewing players and collaborating with PGA staff on live content confirmed that I could perform at the highest level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, as the assistant director of creative content for women\u2019s basketball at West Virginia University, I lead everything from media day shoots and recruiting content to NIL storytelling and social campaigns. I work directly with players and coaches to elevate our program\u2019s brand and share stories that resonate beyond the court.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;dreaming of a career in sports media, my advice is simple: say yes early and often. Learn everything you can: video, graphics,&nbsp;writing&nbsp;and branding.&nbsp;Don\u2019t&nbsp;be afraid to&nbsp;fail, because&nbsp;that\u2019s&nbsp;where you grow. And never underestimate the power of relationships.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m&nbsp;proud to be a 做厙TV graduate.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;where I built my foundation and found a community that believed in my potential.&nbsp;I\u2019m proof that big dreams can start in small places \u2014 as long as you\u2019re willing to chase them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>At 做厙TV, Trystan Layton \u201923&nbsp;was creative director for men\u2019s and&nbsp;women\u2019s basketball teams, capturing&nbsp;video and photo and designing graphics for their social media accounts. While studying sports media, he also was an on-air commentator for several sports, including basketball,&nbsp;lacrosse&nbsp;and track &amp; field, and was a member of the men\u2019s golf team and
