more about me

I’m Jayden Riecken, a play-by-play commentator and multi-sport reporter from Arizona. Heading into high school I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. During my sophomore year, I was placed into a media class that I did not want to be, unaware that once I started engaging with the subject matter that I would find my future career and passion. Since then, I have covered sports for my school, others in the valley, and now ASU athletics in various different mediums. My favorite moment in media thus far, was when I was selected to host the 2025 STN Excellence Awards Show, as apart of a student television program I participated in during high school.
