An SEC-centric podcast this season will have a rotating guest list of household names from around the SEC.
The “JBoy Show,” is hosted by former college football coach Jake “JBoy” Crain, and it was reported by Forbes that he will have Bo Nix (Auburn), Connor Bazelak (Missouri), Jordan Battle (Alabama), Jalen Wydermyer (Texas A&M), Todd Harris (LSU), Kearis Jackson (Georgia) and Jamaree Salyer (Georgia). Each player will join The JBoy Show for a 15-20 minute segment once a week to discuss last week’s game and preparations for that week’s game.
Thanks to new rules that allow student athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness, each student athlete will receive $500 per show for 15 weeks for a total of $7,500 each.
“We’re very excited to bring student-athletes from different universities around the SEC to provide prospective to fans they won’t be able to get anywhere else,” said Crain. “We want to be able to provide our audience with the human element of playing in the nation’s top college football conference from the league’s top play-makers.”
Alabama’s Bryce Young and multiple Texas A&M players have signed similar media deals since the name, image and likeness era began on July 1.
A former newspaper veteran, Keith Farner is a news manager for Saturday Down South.
