    User-posted content

    Kelsey Riggs will officially become a full-time anchor on ESPN’s marquee program, SportsCenter, starting Thursday, August 29. That will be a big milestone in Riggs’ career and a gigantic win for her.

    It was quite the journey for Riggs, who joined ESPN in 2019 upon the launch of the ACC Network. Among its first hires, she quickly became one of the familiar faces synonymous with ACC sports coverage, hosting shows like ACC Huddle and Nothing But Net. Now, she’s about to bring that same energy and expertise to SportsCenter.

    Role of Kelsey Riggs at ACC Network

    She is an anchor extraordinaire at ACC Network and has anchored SportsCenter and College Football Live. She also did marvelous, insightful coverage of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament. Her leaving may be a shot in the arm that ACC Network doesn’t need, while Taylor Tannebaum will try to do the same role that Riggs did.

    Maria Soares congratulated Kelsey Riggs and acclaimed her as having a character full of passion and connecting well with the fans. According to Soares, her work as a part-time SportsCenter anchor made her an ideal candidate for a full-time position. Her new role will be on air delivering live updates, breaking news, and other in-depth sports news. Kelsey Riggs was thankful and excited to take on her new role. Her move up the ladder to SportsCenter just underlines how enormously gritty and hard-working Riggs is.

    Kelsey Raggs Regrading Career

    Before coming to ESPN, Riggs had a great run at WCNC in Charlotte, N.C. While there, she reported on significant events such as Super Bowl 50 and Super Bowl LIII, as well as the 2017 Men’s Final Four. Her reporting on the Carolina Panthers also built up her name within sports journalism. Riggs’ college soccer player background at Charleston Southern only further enhances her credibility.

    Now the show fans have enjoyed over the years will have more input than ever from Kelsey Riggs. Her unique perspective and experience will no doubt be valuable additions to the already-elite group on the show. It leaves little doubt that ESPN is very interested in bringing highly talented hosts, such as Riggs, to their audience.

    Fans’ Expectation

    The sports world is abuzz ahead of Riggs’ on-camera debut on August 29. Her full-time move is seriously considered one of the biggest upgrades for SportsCenter. Fans and colleagues alike were very enthusiastic, wanting to see how Kelsey Riggs would make her mark at the show and still go on to produce top-notch sports coverage.

    Moving from an ACC Network correspondent to a position on SportsCenter at ESPN is not just one of the biggest moves for Kelsey Riggs but a testament to passion and skill in the field of sports journalism. Her new role promises to bring a fresh and engaging perspective to ESPN’s flagship program.
