Clark Kellogg was a great basketball player and he continues to prove that he is an even better analyst.
The former Ohio State star has been a college basketball analyst since 1993 and joined CBS full-time in 1997. After more than three decades in the industry, Kellogg was named Friday as a recipient of the Curt Gowdy Electronic Media Award, a prestigious award given by the Basketball Hall of Fame.

The award honors the late Curt Gowdy, a legendary sports broadcaster and former Hall of Fame board member and president. The Curt Gowdy Media Award is given to members of the print, electronic and transformative media whose efforts have made a significant contribution to the sport.
Kellogg will be recognized alongside the 2025 Basketball Hall of Fame class and the rest of this year’s Curt Gowdy Media Award winners during the Hall’s enshrinement weekend on Sept. 5-6.
A Cleveland native, Kellogg quickly became a star in Columbus. He averaged 14.9 points and 10.1 rebounds in three seasons with the Buckeyes. He earned All-Big Ten and Most Valuable Player honors in the conference in 1982, his third and final season at Ohio State. His best season, at least statistically was his second season in 1980-81, when he averaged 17.3 points and 12 rebounds. Kellogg led the Buckeyes in both scoring and rebounding as a sophomore and junior.
His success in Columbus turned into becoming the No. 8 pick by the Indiana Pacers in the 1982 NBA draft. He was forced to retire after just five seasons with the Pacers due to multiple knee injuries. The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 18.9 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game in Indiana.
