The crew of Shawn Kenney, Jim Gibbons - NCAA Champion wrestler, legendary Iowa State coach, and Iowa Wrestling Hall of Famer, and two-time NCAA Champion Jordan Burroughs will be joined by veteran reporter Quint Kessenich to call the action. Kessenich will have interviews with coaches and student-athletes during the telecast, and he will provide behind-the-scenes commentary from the bench areas, as part of ESPN’s emphasis on unique access elements all season.
Later in the season, ESPNU will also feature the marquee matchup of No. 11 Oklahoma State at No. 2 NC State on Friday, Jan. 5 at 7 p.m.

Nearly 20 additional ACC wrestling events will also be streamed this season on ACCNX.
