Nationally, he has called radio play-by-play for the NFL on Westwood One Sports since 2022, announcing NFL London games, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and key late-season matchups. He has also served as a national play-by-play voice on college football for Touchdown Radio Network since 2017, with studio host experience since 2016.
Shadrick has spent the last 14 seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars as a senior reporter, hosting the last six Jaguars head coaches’ weekly radio shows while serving as a pregame and postgame radio host on gameday. He also contributed to Jaguars Television Network shows while anchoring Jaguars.com coverage of free agency, the NFL Draft and other major offseason events.
Originally from Trussville, AL, Shadrick graduated from the University of Alabama in 2004.
He replaces long-time Cardinals radio play-by-play announcer Dave Pasch, who held the position for 24 years before stepping away in late June to take an expanded role with ESPN.

Shadrick will work alongside radio analyst A.Q. Shipley, the former Cardinals center and nine-year NFL veteran who is entering his second season in the broadcast booth. Joining those two on the Cardinals broadcast is team reporter/host Dani Sureck who is in her debut season as the sideline reporter.
Shadrick will make his Cardinals radio debut on Thursday, August 13 when Arizona travels to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders in a 5:00 PM game from Allegiant Stadium. All Cardinals games can be heard on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM.
In addition to calling the games, Shadrick will contribute to various Cardinals broadcast programming and events throughout the year.
