SEC Network officially announces Roman Harper and Jordan Rodgers as part of SEC Nation crew
By Adam Spencer
Published:
With Marcus Spears moving to NFL Live and Paul Finebaum leaving the show, SEC Nation was in need of a couple of new analysts for the 2020 season.
It has long been reported that former Alabama star Roman Harper and former Vanderbilt QB (and Bachelor star) Jordan Rodgers would fill those seats.
On Tuesday, ESPN made the moves official, announcing the additions to SEC Nation in the 2 tweets you can see below:

“The opportunity to join SEC Network means the world to me, and it’s something I’ve been working toward for a long time,” Harper said. “Since my playing career ended, I’ve been focused on being the best version of myself as an analyst. I never saw this career opportunity coming in my life, and I take the responsibility of having a valued voice in this conference and on this network very seriously.”
Spears and Finebaum won’t be easy to replace, but Rodgers is no stranger to the SEC Network and its shows, and Harper has the personality to be a successful addition.
Those 2 new analysts will join host Laura Rutledge and former Florida QB Tim Tebow on the show.
