Former Texas linebacker Emmanuel Acho has officially been hired by Fox Sports and will cohost FS1’s ‘Speak For Yourself’ with Marcellus Wiley. Acho is replacing Jason Whitlock, who recently left Fox after his contract expired.
Acho began his media career at ESPN, where he worked for Longhorn Network for a short period. He was promoted in 2018 and was a part of ESPN’s weekly college football coverage. After four years at the Worldwide Leader of Sports, Acho is moving to their main competition.
‘Speak For Yourself’ is on during weekdays at 2 pm CST on FS1. Acho will be the show’s fourth host in its short history, as co-creators Collin Cowherd and Whitlock are no longer on the show.
Welcome to the FOX Sports family @thEMANacho!
