Tone Digz is a co-host on The Pat McAfee Show known for his Steelers takes, his betting picks and Tone’s Above Average Poll, his weekly college football ranking.

Hawk, Boston Connor Campbell and Ty Schmit for the show’s August 6, 2026 broadcast from Canton. He has been part of the show since at least September 2018, per its podcast notes, which also say he and Pat McAfee shared a high school football coach; the notes of The Pod, the cast’s side podcast, add that they shared a fifth grade teacher. As of November 2026 he has not left: the show’s notes on November 3, 2026 still had ESPN’s Rece Davis reacting to Tone’s Above Average Poll.

Questions people ask
Who is Tone Digz?
Tone Digz is a co-host on The Pat McAfee Show, the daily sports show that airs on ESPN, and someone who, per the show’s podcast notes, shared a high school football coach and a fifth grade teacher with Pat McAfee. The Pro Football Hall of Fame listed him as Anthony “Tone Digz” DiGuilio, a co-host with A.J. Hawk, Boston Connor Campbell and Ty Schmit, for the show’s live broadcast during enshrinement week on August 6, 2026. The show’s podcast notes have him giving NFL picks and weekly awards in the fall of 2018, delivering a Steelers and Browns rant in November 2019, and running Tone’s Above Average Poll, his college football ranking, through the 2026 season. In December 2018 the notes describe Pat and Digs paying tribute to their high school football coach, and The Pod’s notes in September 2020 mention the two sharing a fifth grade teacher.
What happened to Tone Digz? Is Tone Digz still on The Pat McAfee Show?
Nothing has been announced: as of November 2026 Tone Digz is still part of The Pat McAfee Show as far as the public record shows, and we found no report in ESPN, Awful Announcing or another accepted outlet that he left or was taken off the show. The Pro Football Hall of Fame named him as a co-host for the August 6, 2026 broadcast from Canton, and the show’s podcast notes for September 22, October 6, 13, 21 and 27, and November 3, 2026 all mention guests reacting to Tone’s Above Average Poll. What feeds the question: the show’s episode notes usually credit “Pat, Darius Butler, AJ Hawk, and the boys” without naming him, so his days at the table are hard to track from outside. He also missed episodes of The Pod, the cast’s side podcast, in 2023; its notes said he was tending his ranch, including cattle that broke out in April and knocked down a fence in September, and welcomed him back on December 13, 2023.
How old is Tone Digz?
Tone Digz has not published a birthdate that we could source, and we found no Famous Birthdays page for him, so we do not list an age. What is public: the show’s podcast notes say he and Pat McAfee shared a fifth grade teacher and a high school football coach, and we do not work an age out from that.
What is Tone’s Above Average Poll?
Tone’s Above Average Poll is Tone Digz’s weekly college football ranking on The Pat McAfee Show, and in the 2026 season guests are asked to react to it.

The show’s channel posted a segment titled Who Sits On Top Of Tone’s Above Average Poll & Who Sucks On Tone’s Poll? in the fall of 2026. In October 2025 the notes had him presenting a midseason College Football Playoff graphic.

Yes, Tone Digz has been on the Associated Press panel of voters for the AP NFL Awards, listed as “Tony Digiulio, Pat McAfee Show.” That line appears in the AP’s published panel for February 2024 and again for February 2026, as carried by WTOP.

During March Madness in 2022 the notes also had a segment called Tone’s Tasty Tournament Talk.

He is a Steelers fan in the show’s telling, from a December 2018 episode where he and Nick were close to giving up on the Steelers’ season to Tone Digz’ Steelers/Browns rant in November 2019 and an ESPN clip of him on Cooper Kupp and the Steelers. The Pat McAfee Show is made in Indianapolis.

Who is Tone Digz’s wife? What about his kids or family?
Not something we cover.
Who represents Tone Digz?
As of November 2026, no agent or manager is named publicly for Tone Digz; his work runs through The Pat McAfee Show, which airs on ESPN and takes sponsorship inquiries through its partnerships page. Ames Create does not represent him; we cover him because people keep asking what happened to him, and the show’s own notes answer most of it. If that changes, this entry will say so.
Our read
Ames Create does not work with Tone Digz. This is our view, from a team that works on creator brands for a living.
The format. He is the old friend at the table. His recurring bits are the ones a sports bettor would build: weekly NFL picks, a bet of the day, a gambler’s guide and a college football poll that real coaches and ESPN analysts get asked to answer. Around those he is a reaction voice, usually the Steelers one, and a regular target of the table’s roasts.
Why it travels. His segments travel on the show’s channel and ESPN’s, not his own: the poll gives every college football guest a ready question, and the AP voter role gives his MVP and awards opinions a reason to be clipped. Most searches for him start from someone noticing he was not at the table that day.
Brand fit. Sportsbooks, college football and NFL products, and Pittsburgh brands that already buy into the McAfee show. Any deal would run through the show and ESPN rather than a solo channel, since he has none.
