Brendan Reilly is a Nominee for the Television Academy Foundation's 41st College Television Awards A National Competition
Brendan Reilly, of Charlotte, NC, has been nominated for the prestigious Television Academy Foundation’s 41st College Television Awards. The College Television Awards recognize excellence in student-produced programs from colleges and universities nationwide. Winners in the competition will be announced by television stars at the awards ceremony on March 26.
Reilly graduated from Charlotte Latin School and is currently a senior at the University of Miami. He is a nominee, along with 7 of his classmates, in the “News & Sports” category for his writing on "SportsDesk", the University of Miami’s student-produced, weekly sports show.
“I was lucky enough to be named an anchor on SportsDesk as a freshman, and it is something I took a lot of pride in as an underclassman,” said Reilly. “On SportsDesk, seeing everyone from the talent on air, the producers, and the crew working together to make a great show is something that is very rare especially in college.”
