He used to have a radio show on ESPN with Ryen Russillo called SVP & Russillo. He’s 56 years old and has been working at ESPN since 2001, which means he’s been there for over 20 years.

Scott Van Pelt was born on July 9, 1966, in Brookeville, Maryland, but he grew up near Washington D.C. His mom is Cathie Mathis and his dad is Sam. His grandfather Lorenzo came from Italy to the U.S. and lived in Brooklyn.

Scott finished high school at Sherwood High School in Sandy Springs, Maryland. He went to The University of Maryland and got a degree in radio, television, and film.

Scott Van Pelt Illness

Scott Van Pelt, a famous host on ESPN’s “SportsCenter,” had a health problem during the CFP national championship game. He couldn’t be on “SportsCenter” like usual because he had to deal with a medical issue. He told everyone on Twitter that he had something called “SVT” or supraventricular tachycardia. This is when your heart beats really fast or in a weird way in the upper part of your heart.

Bummed to miss one of my favorite shows of the year, but happy to be ok and home after a bit of a medical scare this afternoon. Thanks to @SuburbanHosp @CJPVFD for looking after me.

Heart got a little out of whack, (SVT) which was pretty spooky, but fine now.
