The voice acting debut comes alongside several major additions to McAfee’s broadcasting schedule for the upcoming football season. ESPN confirmed that McAfee will star in a Super Bowl altcast emulating his college football Field Pass broadcasts, while also bringing his altcast to select Monday Night Football games. Additionally, the former Indianapolis Colts player is expanding his regular duties on Monday Night Countdown while maintaining his full-time role on College GameDay every Saturday.
Outside of his sports broadcasting commitments, McAfee has continued to pursue diverse entertainment projects across multiple industries. He recently released a country-rap album and secured a role in director Peter Berg’s upcoming feature film The Mosquito Bowl. Meanwhile, reports indicate his agency representation is actively seeking to land him a role in the high-profile film sequel Heat 2.
As Disney prepares for the release of Hexed, fans will soon see how the sports media personality adapts his signature high-energy delivery to the animated screen.
