Deckerhoff is one of only four sports broadcasters ever inducted into the Florida Sports Hall of Fame. In calling FSU football since 1979, FSU Basketball since 1974, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since 1989 and all sorts of other things in between, Deckerhoff's deep, rich voice has become instantly recognizable to sports fans all over the state. Deckerhoff is the only radio voice who has broadcasted an NCAA football championship team (1993 and 1999 with the Seminoles) and a SuperBowl Championship team (2003 with the Buccaneers). In addition, he was inducted into the 2002 Florida State University Athletic Hall of Fame, and is a nine-time winner of the NSSA Florida Sportscaster of the Year Award.
ESPN and ABC basketball analyst Dick Vitale recently mentioned Deckerhoff as one of the top college basketball play-by-play voices. Vitale named Deckerhoff to his "All-Cawood Ledford" team, in honor of the legendary Kentucky broadcaster, as the best basketball announcers in his opinion.
Deckerhoff is also the co-host of the "Bobby Bowden TV Show", Bowden's weekly call-in radio show, Bowden Daily Radio Show, Leonard Hamilton/Seminole Basketball Highlight Show, Hamilton's weekly call-in radio show, and the Hamilton Daily Radio Show. He runs Gene Deckerhoff Productions, a firm specializing in sports broadcasting and the production of radio and television commercials.
