Brock Osweiler has joined ESPN as a college football analyst. ESPN announced the hiring of the former NFL quarterback on Thursday.
“College football is so special, and there’s nothing like the pageantry and excitement that takes over the stadium on a fall Saturday,” Osweiler said in a release. “I can’t wait to be part of the team at ESPN and share the perspective and passion I have for the game I love. Since retiring, I’ve thought about football every day and I’m truly excited for this next chapter.”
Osweiler will work with play-by-play announcer Anish Shroff and sideline reporter Taylor McGregor on a package of games this season.
“Brock is a tremendous addition to our industry-leading crew of college football commentators,” Steve Ackels, ESPN vice president, production said in the announcement. “He brings a fantastic football IQ and perspective to the booth. We look forward to having him join our team this season.”
A former Arizona State standout quarterback, Osweiler was selected by the Denver Broncos in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Osweiler has a Super Bowl ring as a member of the 2015 Broncos squad. He also played for the Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins before retiring in 2019.
