Andy Burcham Named New Voice Of The Auburn Tigers

AUBURN, AL — Auburn University announced this week that Andy Burcham will be the new voice of the Auburn Tigers this fall when football season kicks off. Burcham has been a part of Auburn radio broadcasts for the past 31 years.

Burcham replaces Rod Bramblett, who died May 26 - along with his wife, Paula - in a vehicle wreck in Auburn. Burcham worked alongside Bramblett for the previous 25 years broadcasting Auburn baseball and served as the play-by-play voice for Auburn women’s basketball since 1988. He has also been the pre and postgame locker room host for Tiger football since 1990 and was the play-by-play announcer on Auburn football pay-per-view and tape-delay broadcasts from 1992 to 2013.

Burcham will be the lead announcer for Auburn football, men’s basketball, baseball and all other Auburn Sports Properties, according to a report by WSFA.

"During the very difficult process of replacing Rod, it was very clear that Andy Burcham was the right man to be the new Voice of the Auburn Tigers," Auburn Sports Properties vice president and general manager Chris Davis said in a Plainsman report. "He is well respected not only in his profession, but by his coworkers, Auburn Athletics coaches and administration, and in the community. He understands the importance of this role. Andy is a consummate professional who puts great preparation, execution and passion into his work. Most importantly, Andy is a man of great character who loves and cares deeply for Auburn and what it represents. We're very excited for Andy and can't wait for the Auburn Family to embrace him in his new role."
