Tony Barnhart - Sports Journalist, Broadcaster and Author.
Oh NO, everyone is talking retirement ..... but don't worry Tony Barnhart will still be joining us for his Annual Visit to the Rotary Club of Dunwoody to present his College Football preview 2025 . Tony has been writing about college football for half a century, and as he enters his 50th year of coverage, the longtime scribe and radio host has announced this will be his final year covering the game. He announced that he will be retiring following the conclusion of the upcoming college football season.
"The 2025 season will be my 50th covering college football for newspapers, radio, television, and the internet,” wrote Barnhart. “After many talks with my bride, Maria, friends, family and colleagues I have decided it will be my last.”
Affectionately known as " Mr College Football" our very own Dunwoody local Celebrity and Georgia native said his last working day will be the College Football Playoff national championship game on Jan. 19, 2026, in Miami. He’s been semiretired since voluntarily leaving the SEC Network after the 2023 season.
