Darius Rucker is a well-known sports fan, and his love of NFL and college football is legendary. Darius continues expanding his creative endeavors off the stage and onto the field. He announced his Fanatics apparel line recently launched its third season of NFL gear while expanding to include all 30 MLB teams and select NCAA markets.
In a post on Instagram, Rucker showed off his latest Fanatics apparel. He wrote, “With baseball season heating up, I’m thrilled to officially unveil the @MLB x Darius Rucker Collection by @Fanatics – with more than 30 products representing all your favorite clubs! You can shop now at MLBshop.com, Fanatics.com, and select Major League ballparks. I can’t wait to see how the season shapes up! ™/© 2023 MLB.”
Darius’s passion for sports and music will also converge as he performs the national anthem at the USC vs. UNC game this weekend to kick off the college football season, which he will play an essential part in as the new voice of ESPN’s “College GameDay” theme song.
Rucker posted to Instagram, “To celebrate 30 years of GameDay hitting the road, Darius Rucker, Lainey Wilson, and The Cadillac Three are the new voices of our anthem. The latest version of ‘Comin’ To Your City’ will be here Saturday morning.”

Rucker recently announced that his first solo album in six years, Carolyn’s Boy, is set for release on October 6. Darius said in a statement, “I wanted to name the record ‘Carolyn’s Boy’ because Mom never got to see any of my success. She died before any of this happened, so it’s just another homage to the greatest woman I’ve ever known.”
Rucker feels that now is the right time to honor her. He said, “Years ago, I wasn’t really sure what my place in Country music was, and I was trying to find it. Now I have found it – I know – and I think it’s time to give that record.”
