Legendary ACC Host Hanging Up the Mic

A longtime sportscaster is stepping away from the microphone.

ACC Network host Mark Packer took to social media Thursday evening and announced that he is retiring:

Breaking News.

My agent alerted ESPN this morning that I have decided to retire.

Given the difficult challenges of past 3 years on both a personal and professional level, the timing is right.

I can't wait to travel, write, teach & live again!

Thank you for all the support.— Mark Packer (@MarkPacker) May 22, 2025

Packer, also known as “The Packman,” has been working in the sports world for an extended period of time.
