How Kate Scott built a resume of many firsts, from broadcaster to Madden play-by-play
Briefly

Scott has all of those characteristics, but the longtime broadcaster/play-by-play announcer still finds herself wondering how this is her life. I just stopped and somebody almost ran into the back of me because I stopped so suddenly and I just thought, I'm in that video game that people are pulling off the shelf right now and putting in their carts. It's extremely surreal.
It's a historic moment for Scott and for the Madden franchise. But to those who know Scott, it's no surprise she's breaking barriers. It's what she's done for years. Scott first attended the University of California in 2001.
Kate Scott didn't set out to create a career of firsts in sports media. But her latest first is mind-blowing. How does a girl from Clovis, Calif., someone who wanted to be a teacher like her mother, end up as one of the play-by-play voices in the Madden NFL '25 video game?
Each play-by-play announcer is joined by one of three color commentators – Brock Huard, Charles Davis or Greg Olsen – in the game. Scott is the first woman featured in the play-by-play role and virtually sits alongside Huard in the booth.
