Josh Clayton joined the University of Maryland Athletics Department in September 2016 as Assistant Director of TerpVision and Video Operations before being elevated to Assistant Athletics Director in October 2021. Now entering his ninth season with Maryland, Clayton oversees all aspects of broadcast and video operations, including TerpVision, B1G+ live event broadcasts, and in-venue videoboard operations across Maryland’s athletic facilities.

Prior to Maryland, Clayton gained professional experience with the Cleveland Browns (NFL), Spokane Shock (Arena Football League), and Spokane Empire (Indoor Football League). He has more than a decade of broadcasting, production, and game operations experience across NCAA, NFL, MLS, WNBA, NBA G-League, and national networks including Apple TV, CBS, and NBC. He has also contributes to the Sports Video Group College Advisory Committee for the last four years, helping shape the industry’s best practices and innovations.

A Washington state native, Clayton is a former collegiate football player and earned both his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Eastern Washington University. His career has been marked by a passion for pushing the boundaries of live production, including pioneering one of the first end-to-end HDR (High Dynamic Range) broadcast facilities in collegiate athletics and among the few in professional sports. He spearheaded Maryland’s landmark SECU Stadium upgrade in October 2021, highlighted by a 6,532-square-foot videoboard, the largest in the Big Ten and ninth-largest nationally at its debut. The project also introduced a new broadcast center, upgraded sound system, and new stadium lighting.

Building on that momentum, Clayton oversaw the installation of the new center-hung videoboard at Xfinity Center, paired with a cutting-edge L-Acoustics sound system, enhancing the in-arena atmosphere for basketball, gymnastics, and other special events. These transformative projects have solidified Maryland as a national leader in collegiate broadcast and fan experience innovation.

He resides in College Park with his wife and four daughters.
