Tony Castricone Heads to Tampa

Tony Castricone, UW’s beloved football and basketball voice for nine years, is leaving Seattle for the NFL—joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as their lead play-by-play announcer. This marks a major career leap, especially since he’s stepping into a role once held by broadcasting legend Gene Deckershoff. The move isn’t just a coast-to-coast shift—it’s a full-circle moment, as five former Huskies players, including Jake Browning and Vita Vea, now wear Bucs gear. The Buccaneers are thrilled to welcome him, praising his professionalism and fan connection. Castricone’s departure leaves a void at UW, but his new gig promises electrifying NFL broadcasts—and a chance to shine on a bigger stage.
