Ryan McGee Biography

Ryan McGee is a senior writer for ESPN.com and a field reporter for flagship programs including "SportsCenter" and "E:60." McGee covers a wide range of American sports, with a particular focus on motorsports, especially NASCAR, and college football. He began his ESPN career working on the production staff of the show "rpm2night" and contributed to ESPN The Magazine. Before joining ESPN, McGee spent a summer working for the Asheville Tourists minor league baseball team, an experience he later chronicled in his memoir "Welcome to the Circus of Baseball."

From 2001 to 2003, McGee produced "Totally NASCAR" on FOX Sports Net and served as editor-in-chief at NASCAR Media Group for five years, earning two Sports Emmy Awards and writing the script for the documentary film "Dale." That documentary, narrated by Paul Newman, is recognized as a significant project in motorsports media. McGee also contributes to studio programming including "SportsCenter," "SEC Nation," "SEC Now," and "College Football Live."

McGee co-hosts "Marty & McGee" with Marty Smith. The podcast was promoted to a regular weekend time slot on ESPN Radio, and a television version launched on SEC Network. He is also a commentator on ESPNU and SEC Network, where he frequently guest hosts on "The Paul Finebaum Show." McGee is known for blending sports analysis with culturally focused storytelling across ESPN's platforms.

As an author, McGee has written several books spanning multiple sports, including "Sidelines and Bloodlines: A Father, His Sons, and Our Life in College Football," "Welcome to the Circus of Baseball," "The Road to Omaha: Hits, Hopes and History at the College World Series," and "ESPN Ultimate NASCAR: 100 Defining Moments in Stock Car Racing History." He also collaborated with Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the New York Times bestseller "Racing to the Finish: My Story." His works often connect sports to broader themes of identity, family, and American culture.

McGee has earned seven Sports Emmy Awards, been named the National Motorsports Press Association's Writer of the Year 10 times, and is a member of the Football Writers Association of America, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers, and serves as a national board member of the National Sports Media Association. A University of Tennessee alumnus, McGee has returned to his alma mater to deliver commencement addresses, reflecting his enduring presence in sports journalism and media.
