The Young Professor

The Young Professor Cast Director & Chief Potassium Enthusiast for The Savannah Bananas. Pro live event host (NHL, NASCAR, PPA Tour, and more). Sharp dressed man 🤵 Ladies. Gentlemen.

Boys and Girls... and Live Event Enthusiasts from around the world! The Young Professor Matt Graifer has been an a live event host, announcer, DJ and speaker for over a decade and has performed in front of more than 1,000,000 people in that time! He is best known as the Host/Chief Potassium Enthusiast for The Savannah Bananas, and he has also announced for NASCAR at the 2022 Coke Zero Sugar 400 at

the Daytona International Speedway. He began his sports career as a professional wrestling ring announcer, before adding MMA, boxing, and then team sports event hosting to his repertoire, working for teams and events like the Daytona Tortugas MiLB team, the Jacksonville Sharks arena football team, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Men's/Women's Basketball teams, the NXL Paintball World Cup, and many more. The Young Professor (aka Matt Graifer) was ACTUALLY that: a young professor! At the age of 25, he started as a professor of an exercise science program where he taught 25 separate collegiate level courses over a nearly 8 year span. He then spent several years as a high school social studies teacher. The Daytona Beach News Journal named him Best Live Entertainer in 2018 and in 2022 he was named one of the 40 Under Forty for the same newspaper. The Professor maintains a remarkably busy schedule, but is always interested in new, exciting opportunities. If you or someone you know is in need of a host, DJ, or motivational speaker for your event: you'd be hard pressed to find someone more experienced, better dressed, or more FUN than the one and only Young Professor!

Terrell Owens is the first athlete I’ve gotten to announce who I actually owned a jersey of, which I think is pretty cool.

I owned a T.O. Jersey back in 2005 when he was with the Philadelphia Eagles

He’s pretty good at pickleball, too.
