Chad Ricardo
My name is Chad Ricardo. My passion is covering sports and my mission is uplifting the community.
A graduate of James Madison University, for the last 10 years I have used my platform to uplift athletes of the DMV. By building my own brand, The Ricardo Report, I've specialized in showcasing youth and high school sports, creating organic connections throughout the region.
Albeit, Heisman trophy winner and Gonzaga College High School alum, Caleb Williams of the University of Southern California, DeMatha Catholic alum, Chase Young of the Commanders or St. Frances' Blake Corum, the University of Michigan's top-rated running back—all of which I first interviewed as teenagers—I made it a priority to cover today's stars before the masses knew their names.
In working with FOX 5, my show, 'In the Sports' allows us to take coverage of high school and collegiate student-athletes to a level never witnessed in the DMV. In addition, 'Game Time', provides in-depth pre-game analysis of the Washington Commanders as they pursue their ultimate goals.
My name is Chad Ricardo. My passion is covering sports. My mission is uplifting the community. In short, I am living the dream.
