The host

Meet Tyler Mathias

Tyler Mathias has been covering sports for over 18 years, with a lifelong love of the game that started with a family rivalry when he started liking the Cleveland Indians while the rest of his family liked the Reds. The Tyler Mathias Show grew out of a simple idea: the same passion and detail that goes into covering the pros deserves to go into covering the local athletes and coaches building the future of the game.

When he's not recording, Tyler loves to spend time with his family, watch sports, and eat good food. He's based in Centerburg, Ohio and is a lifelong fan of the Cleveland Guardians, Cincinnati Bengals, and The Ohio State Buckeyes.

This show exists to give student athletes and coaches the same spotlight — and the same respect — as the pros, while keeping fans caught up on all of the games they love.
