Alex Hayden joined the UMO Athletics staff in 2016 but has been around Trojan athletics since 2005 and serves as the lead anchor for Trojan Sports Network productions. 

Hayden has assisted in the training of young broadcasters on the Trojan Sports Network during his time at UMO. He has worked with students from varying degree and age levels and has also helped with students from the new Sports Communication major, which has an entry-level emphasis in broadcasting and webcast production, as well as other aspects. Hayden can be heard on the Trojan Sports Network broadcasting the Trojans home athletics events and special events.

Hayden's advice to young broadcasters: "Don't be afraid to laugh at yourself because you are going to make mistakes. The more you laugh with yourself whether you're on the air or it's at a critique session after you're done the less stressed you'll be".
