Treavor Scales is returning to ESPN as an anchor for SportsCenter, the network’s flagship news and information program. His first appearance will be on the 6 p.m. ET edition of SportsCenter on Friday, May 23.
Previously, Scales spent nearly a decade with ESPN from 2013 to 2021, where he took on a variety of on-air and digital roles. These included hosting SportsCenter on Snapchat, co-hosting The Wrap Up and The College Football Show, and contributing across the network’s digital platforms.
“Returning to ESPN to host SportsCenter is the latest scene in what feels like a dream sequence of a career — one that started in Remote Operations at ESPN as a Crewing Coordinator,” Scales said. “Being given the opportunity to, once again, play a role in what is the gold standard for sports news and highlights is truly an honor, and I’m ecstatic to join this incredibly talented team.”
After leaving ESPN in 2021, Scales expanded his presence in sports media. He served as a host with Bally Sports and FanDuel Sports Network, anchoring pre- and post-game coverage for the Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Hawks. Additionally, over the past two seasons, he worked as a reporter and sideline analyst for CW Sports’ college football broadcasts.
“Treavor brings an authentic creative energy that fits perfectly with where SportsCenter is headed,” said Mike Foss, ESPN senior vice president of studio and entertainment. “He’s got a great feel for storytelling, knows how to connect with fans, and understands how to thrive across multiple platforms. We’re excited to have him back in the lineup.”
A graduate of Harvard University, Scales was a standout running back for the Crimson football team. He began his broadcasting journey at ESPN by helping to develop its early digital verticals, where he played a key role in shaping sports content for a new generation of fans. Scales will be based at ESPN’s headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut.
