John Hygh is a familiar face on Austin television. He's a sports anchor and
reporter for the Fox affiliate. What you might NOT know is John's strong link with
Texas State University. Tommy LeVrier tells us more in this Bobcat Update.

John Hygh loves sports. You're apt to see him covering games throughout the
Hill Country. For several years, he's been a go-to guy as part of the sports
reporting team at Fox-7 in Austin. In the early 90s, John was part of another
sports team -- the football team here at Texas State, then known as Southwest
Texas State University. He was quarterback. And he was a student.
When not on the football field, Hygh spent a lot of time in Old Main where he
was working on his degree in Mass Communication. He was learning how to
be a television broadcaster.

Dr. Laurie Fluker says she remembers John's enthusiasm:

After graduation, John fulfilled his dream of being a sports broadcaster. Along
the way, he's met many of the up-and-comers in sports as he once was, and he's
met the legends. And he'll never forget his encounter as a player against
Michael Strahan who would later become an N-F-L All Pro defensive end.

John takes pride in being a former Bobcat and enjoys any opportunity he gets to
return to his alma mater to cover a game.
