They’re three bachelors renting a suburban Las Vegas house and carving out their own career paths in the expanding Las Vegas sports market.
There’s 30-year-old Matt, the play-by-play sports radio broadcaster. Then, there’s 28-year-old Kyle, the Betfred sportsbook worker. And finally, the youngest of the trio, 25-year-old Drew, who makes a living in the sports events world.
For the last three years, they have gotten along great as roommates in their three-bedroom house across from Spring Valley High School in the central valley.
Then again, they’ve had years and years of practice at getting along and living together.
Matt, Kyle and Drew are the Neverett Brothers of Las Vegas — the trio of sons of Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Tim Neverett.
LVSportsBiz.com caught up with all three before today’s UNLV-Utah Tech football game at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas.
“We’re typical roommates outside of the fact we are all related,” Drew quipped.
Added Kyle, “It’s wild we ended up back together . . . It’s nice. We all understand what it takes to work in sports.”
The brotherly threesome became housemates in August 2021 after the two older boys, Matt and Kyle, shared an apartment. Drew then came and crashed on a couch. “I was living in the kitchen” Drew joked.
What’s interesting is that all three are taking unique paths through Las Vegas’ fast-growing sports scene.
For example, the oldest, Matt, a 2017 Appalachian State grad, works as a play-by-play radio broadcaster for the Triple-A baseball Las Vegas Aviators while starting his first season calling UNLV Rebels football games for ESPN Las Vegas. He also has called UNLV baseball games since 2020.
Kyle, a 2018 Appalachian State grad, works in the exploding business world of sports gambling as a sportsbook retention manager for United Kingdom-based Betfred.
Meanwhile, the youngest, Drew, a 2021 South Carolina grad, works as an operations manager for Phoenix-based Position Sports, a sports marketing business with operations in Las Vegas. Drew just returned to Las Vegas after working at the Little League World Series.
Bottom line is all three of them have made me a proud dad and I very much enjoy following their progress. — Dodgers broadcaster Tim Neverett, father of Matt, Kyle and Drew
The Neverett Trio said papa Tim likes the arrangement of having his three boys under one roof for visiting purposes.
But Tim Neverett told LVSportsBiz.com Saturday that sometimes it’s hard to get all three together because of their varying busy schedules.
“Vegas is an incredible city with so much going on now and I’m glad to see that they each have a hand in many things and events going on around town. I come over from L.A. as often as I can during the season, but it is hard to wrangle all three of them at the same time because they all usually have something going on,” Tim said Saturday.
The oldest brother, Matt, handles the house’s rent and other bills.
Matt joked he had the best credit, so he deals with the rent finances.
“We split everything evenly,” Drew pointed out.
Occasionally, the brothers cross paths on their jobs.
For example, while Matt was doing the UNLV football play-by-play Saturday, Kyle was working with him doing the spotting and helping his brother identify players involved in the action. In other cases, Drew and Matt worked together on UNLV baseball events.
Kyle, meanwhile, worked in the Pirates organization at its spring training complex in Bradenton, Florida before his current Betfred gig.
There was a connection: dad Tim worked as a Pirates broadcaster from 2009-15.
“I am extremely proud of all of them and glad they get to spend a lot of time together. They all have different goals in their professional lives and being in Las Vegas gives them the opportunities to pursue them. They are all doing well in their particular endeavors,” the father said.
“They are all Battle Born Nevadans and I am so happy that they continue to grow and advance in the place where they were born.”
