Education
Ryen was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon at the University of Vermont, where he studied. He also found time to intern at WCAX, a CBS-affiliated station. He was a sports fan who worked as a play-by-play announcer for a minor-league baseball team. If the team hadn’t moved to New Jersey, Ryen may have gone on to play professionally. Ryen earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Vermont in 1997.
Professional life and career

During the 2008 season, Ryen hosted NBA Sunday, The Baseball Show, and ESPN Radio College GameDay on ESPN Radio. He was also a frequent host on Game Night and dill on The Doug Gottlieb Show and All Night with Jason Smith.
Ryen left ESPN in December 2017 to work for the network as a podcast producer. Russillo announced the launch of his weekly podcast “Dual Threat” on August 24, 2018.

Private life
Ryen Russillo seems to be so private about his personal life that he has kept his love affair and marriage a secret. He hasn’t mentioned his girlfriend or wife at all. However, in 2012, he tweeted that if he were married, he would call 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday his “married window,” since that is the only time on the weekend when he would like to pretend to listen.
Cari Champion, Ryen’s ESPN co-worker, listed Ryen as a boyfriend in her social media messages. Ryen and Cari’s special friendship has blossomed as a result of their closeness at work. One of his fans asked about his girlfriend during an ESPN chat in April 2017, and he denied having one. It demonstrates that he has yet to find a wife-like partner with whom he can achieve success in both his personal and professional lives.
Controversies
There have been reports that he dated fellow ESPN personality Cari Champion in the past, but no one has verified this. In 2017, he was arrested for the illegal act, prompting ESPN to suspend him for more than two weeks. Ryen’s social media post with Sara Walsh broke dating speculation with another coworker. He responded to the Sara rumors on Twitter, claiming that he was not dating her, that she was his neighbor, and that her husband was super-hot.
