Paul Keels, the voice of the Ohio State Buckeyes, will pull double duty this upcoming weekend.

Keels, slated to provide play-by-play for the Buckeyes when they travel to New Jersey to take on Rutgers in a Big Ten conference game, will substitute as the voice of the Cleveland Browns when they take on the Arizona Cardinals at Cleveland Browns Stadium at 1 p.m. Sunday, a team spokesman confirmed.

Keels, a 2007 inductee to the Ohio Broadcasters Hall of Fame, is no stranger to announcing pro football. He served as the play-by-play voice of the Cincinnati Bengals for the 1996 season. He has been the voice of the Buckeyes since 1998.
