Future Phenoms is a nationally syndicated sports television show about high school athletics. The show, which is hosted by legendary broadcaster Pat Summerall, takes its viewers across the country in search of the brightest young stars in sports.^[1]^[2] Future Phenoms is the cable counterpart of the broadcast program Sports Stars of Tomorrow, the only high school sports program in national syndication.^[3]

The show began in 2005 and provides in-depth feature stories about the top prep athletes in the United States. Future Phenom’s goal is to get an “off the field” look at the athletes, so they are frequently shown doing things like playing golf, strumming guitars, and studying. It is produced by GameDay Productions, a private television production company based in Fort Worth, Texas. It can be seen in more than 90 percent of the country, including markets like New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Dallas-Fort Worth.

Future Phenoms partners with the website Prep Ticket.^[4]

In 2008, former Oklahoma City sports news anchor Mike Rigg was brought on the show as a national correspondent.

Prominent athletes that have been featured on the show are: Greg Oden, Tim Tebow, Chris Wells, Kevin Durant, Terrelle Pryor, Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, and Matt Barkley.
