Chase will be paired with Colt “Havok” McLendon of the Florida Mutineers. “We’re all excited to kick off the Super Bowl weekend with athletes who love Call of Duty,” said McLendon. “We had so much fun with the In The Know Bowl last year, and it’s awesome to play together with NFL and NBA stars to show them how it’s done and see just how competitive they get.”
The exhibition, a single-elimination 2v2 Call of Duty tournament, is sponsored by Pizza Hut. Anthony “Nameless” Wheeler and Jeremy “StuDyy’” Astacio will provide in-game action and commentary throughout the event. Kay Adams, host of Good Morning Football, will interview players and athletes throughout the show.
