Photo: Gus Johnson joined CBS Sports in 1995 as a play-by-play announcer for the CBS Television Network's coverage of college basketball, including the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship. Johnson graduated from Howard University with a degree in political science and attended the university on a baseball scholarship.
Wherever he goes, Gus Johnson's head is on a swivel.
A longtime broadcaster of NFL and professional basketball games, he's often just another excitable announcer talking into a microphone.
But put Johnson, a Detroit native, in front of an NCAA tournament microphone and he becomes a rock star. His enthusiasm and passion have spilled over into many of the recent great moments of the tournament, and he's reminded everywhere he goes.
