Before joining ESPN, Verrett worked as a sports anchor and reporter at WDSU-TV in New Orleans. he was also worked as a sports anchor and reporter in Norfolk, Virginia and was a morning show personality at several radio stations in Washington, D.C., Charleston, S.C., and Norfolk. Verrett joined ESPN as an anchor for ESPNEWS in September 2000. He then moved to the Los Angeles facility in 2009 and became the co-host of the 1 a.m. ET of SportsCenter with Neil Everett. 

In an interview with Crux, Verrett said he credits his success to what he learned at St. Augustine High School in New Orleans. “What it means is we’re the Purple Knights, that’s our mascot, and purple pride means that no matter what it is that you do that is affiliated with St. Augustine you do it to the best of your ability and that stayed with me,” Verrett said. “I’m always representing St. Augustine no matter what I do, where I go, what I achieve, and that’s always top of mind not just for me but for all of us. It’s a lifetime experience graduating from that school.”
