Eric Willuweit enters his third season as the Sports Information Director for Illinois Tech Athletics. He started in the role on September 7th, 2021.
Willuweit came to Illinois Tech after spending several seasons as one of the Scarlet Hawks in-game play-by-play announcers through the school's partnership with the Illinois Media School. In that role, he called games for men's and women's soccer, men's and women's basketball, women's and men's volleyball, baseball, and women's and men's lacrosse. He called the very first home match for men's lacrosse in March of 2020, before the season was unfortunately shut down due to the pandemic.

Born and raised in Hoffman Estates, Ill., Willuweit graduated from Hoffman Estates High School. He also attended Harper Community College and Illinois State University, the latter of which he studied Mass Communications.
