Washington Huskies broadcaster Tony Castricone is leaving the team to join the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers as their play-by-play radio broadcaster.
Castricone announced his departure on Tuesday, ending his 9-year tenure with the Washington Huskies.
He will watch the team's next game against Washington State Cougars on 2026-09-06 from a different perspective.
Castricone's departure is a significant loss for the team, as he has been the voice of the Huskies since Bob Rondeau's retirement in 2017.
He has called many notable games, including the 2018 Apple Cup, where Myles Gaskin dashed 80 yards through the snow to win the game.
Castricone has also worked with several football coaches, including Chris Petersen, Jimmy Lake, Kalen DeBoer, and Jedd Fisch.
The Washington Huskies will need to find a new broadcaster to replace Castricone, who has been a beloved figure among the team's fans.
Castricone's passion and energy will be missed, but he is excited for his new opportunity with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
He expressed his gratitude to the team and the fans, saying he will always be a "Dawg" at heart.
Castricone's time with the Washington Huskies has included many memorable moments, such as Dominic Green's buzzer-beating three-pointer against Arizona.
He has also called games at notable stadiums, including Levi's Stadium and Allegiant Stadium.
Castricone's experience with the team has been invaluable, and he will always cherish the memories he made with the Washington Huskies.
