With a thrilling heart and a passion for
Tarleton State University Athletics, Casey
Hogan returns to the purple and the white
to serve as the assistant athletic director of
marketing and broadcasting. Hogan has been
a member of the Tarleton Family during many
points of his life and he is ready to pick up
where he left off.
“I am very happy to be back and blessed I
was the one selected for this role,” said Hogan.
As the assistant athletic director for
marketing and broadcast, Hogan will be
overseeing all marketing and broadcasting for
Tarleton Athletics. This includes developing
advertisement deals as well as overseeing
Tarleton Sports Network and all radio
broadcast within. With such responsibilities,
his plan for Tarleton Athletics will be to
find a way to attract more people to attend
Tarleton’s games.
“I will be focusing on how do we drive fans
to the game,” said Hogan. “How do we increase
attendance? How do we improve our fan
experience during a game?”
His current ideas include utilizing the video
board in Wisdom Gym and installing a fan
rewards program.
After graduating from Tarleton with a
political science degree and working on
Capitol Hill in Washington D.C., Hogan
returned to Tarleton in 2012 to conduct

developmental work for the Athletic
department. From 2012 to 2016 Hogan worked
on many developmental projects for the
athletic department such as the rebranding
and establishment of the Tarleton Sports
Network with sponsorship by the North Texas
Ford Dealers being one of his developments.
During this time, he also broadcasted many
of the athletic events on the radio, thus
earning him the title of The Voice of the
Texans. Hogan’s work in development and
broadcasting has resulted in Hogan being
awarded the 2013-14 Lone Star Conference
Broadcaster of the Year title.
Hogan left Tarleton following his success
to pursue a career in corporate sales. He was
employed as an account manager for an IT
company in Dallas, Texas.
“I left Tarleton in 2016,” Hogan said. “I went
into the corporate world. I always wanted to
go in the corporate world. It was such a good
opportunity for me to go into corporate sales.”
While Hogan worked into a successful career
in Dallas, he has found himself longing for the
moments he had while at Tarleton.
“I really missed working in collegiate
athletics. I missed Tarleton. It just wasn’t the
same,” said Hogan. “There was an opportunity
to come back and I was ready to come home.”
This opportunity came in the form of a
communication between Hogan and Athletic
Director Lonn Reisman, who informed him of
the opening of a new position within Tarleton
Athletics.
“[Reismanl let me know that thev were
looking to add someone that would be an
assistant athletic director for marketing and
asked me if I wanted to apply for the position,”
Hogan said.
Hogan added that after much discussion and
consideration he expressed his interest in the
position knowing it was the right choice for
him.
“I want to work in collegiate athletics,
I want to work in higher education,” said
Hogan. “I think going into the corporate
world allowed me to see that this is what I’m
passionate about. This is what I want to do for
the rest of my life.”
Hogan’s passion for Tarleton Athletics and
his desire for wanting to leave his corporate
career stemmed from his prior experience
working for Tarleton Athletics.
“My junior year in 2006 I got involved with
Tarleton sports radio broadcast through a local
radio station that at the time broadcast the
games,” said Hogan.
While Hogan carries many ideas and much
drive to help Tarleton Athletics grow, he is
grateful for what has been presented to him.
“I want to thank Dr. Dottavio and Coach
Reisman for giving me the opportunity to
come home,” said Hogan. “I’m just excited to
be back home and to help student athletes and
help our coaches be successful in competition
and in the classroom. That’s really, at the end
of the day, what this is all about. Giving them
the tools to succeed and I’m exited about it.
It’s great to be home.”
