Bryce Keller has two roles on this year’s LVC football team – to stop opposing teams’ wide receivers and to update the campus on team news via social media.; Keller was named the team’s social media intern.
“I did a lot of school news and media production in high school,” Keller said. “I started there and then progressed to bigger things like making graphics for commitment post.”
Bryce is a sophomore digital media major. If that wasn’t enough, he is also a defensive back on the football team.
“I saw the current social media post and showed the team what I was capable of and they all loved it,” he said. “Through their support I was able to talk to Coach Thompson, and he also loved my graphics. Coach Thompson wanted to use more and more of my graphics and wanted to give LVC football a better face on social media.”
Bryce has a lot to manage while being the intern. He designs gameday posts, gameday sidelines passes, commitment posts and many more. It is a very time-consuming task for the student-athlete.
“There’s a lot of challenging tasks that come along with being the intern,” he said. “The most challenging is not being able to get my own content to use in the post. Since I play in the games, I’m not able to get any of my own content and it’s hard because some people don’t get the pictures that I am looking for.”
With one year under his belt, Keller will now look to use this experience to help him in the future.
