Corwin Leverich – has been named the league's Digital Video Production Crew of the Year for the 2025-2026 academic and athletic year.
This marks the second time since joining the Missouri Valley Conference that Valpo's production team has earned this high honor, as the group also won the award in 2022-2023. Valpo has now earned this distinction twice in a four-year span.
Valpo was honored by the league office for the quality of the institutionally-produced events delivered to the ESPN+ digital streaming platform this year. Valpo was selected for the award as the strongest production team in the 11-team league.
"ESPN Valpo Productions is honored to be recognized by the Missouri Valley Conference as the Best Digital Video Production Crew of 2025-2026," Leverich said. "This award is a testament to the dedication, creativity and passion of our current team and alumni, who continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in sports broadcasting. I'm incredibly proud of what we've accomplished together, and even more excited for what's still to come. This is just the beginning."
The management team that works under Leverich's direction includes
Karl Berner,
Mitchell Moss,
Gus Radke and
Dalton Morgan. They lead a team of crew members that includes numerous Valparaiso University students in partnership with the Department of Communication and Visual Arts (CVA).
The production team streams home events for football, volleyball, soccer, men's basketball, women's basketball, baseball and softball in addition to special events like press conferences and Valpo's commencement ceremony.
