Buccaneers name Tony Castricone their new radio play-by-play announcer

For the first time since 1989, the Buccaneers have a new radio voice.

The Bucs announced that Tony Castricone is the team’s new radio play-by-play announcer. He succeeds Gene Deckerhoff, who served in the role from 1989 to 2025.

Castricone was previously the radio play-by-play announcer for the Washington Huskies football and men’s basketball teams.

“It’s the honor of a lifetime to be entrusted with this extremely rare opportunity and this one-of-a-kind role within this fantastic franchise,” Castricone said. “I’d like to thank the Glazer family and everyone I met with during the interview process for their confidence in my abilities and for allowing me to live out this dream. I’d also like to congratulate Gene Deckerhoff on an iconic 37-year run. There will never be another Gene, and I’ll miss hearing his larger-than-life voice on gamedays. The thought of following in his legendary footsteps is humbling and exhilarating. My family and I cannot wait to be Buccaneers, to be Floridians and to meet as many members of the Krewe as possible.”
