ESPN has made an addition to its college football and basketball broadcast teams, as well as its SportsCenter anchor lineup.
Front Office Sports tweeted on Tuesday afternoon that Emmy-winning sportscaster Brian Custer was heading to the Worldwide Leader.
Per the tweet below, Custer will leave FOX Sports in July to head to ESPN for the fall season:

What games he covers, and whether or not they’ll be for the same conference or different leagues, remains to be seen.
Custer previously called Seton Hall games for FOX, but ESPN doesn’t have the Big East broadcast package, so we’ll have to see what assignments he gets this fall.
