Days after reports that ESPN contributor Sam Ponder was likely leaving college football to replace Chris Berman on Sunday NFL Countdown, it looks like ESPN’s college football coverage is losing another female star.
According to a report by The Big Lead, Kaylee Hartung is leaving ESPN for CNN.
Hartung has been a staple in the network’s coverage of college football as a sideline reporter, and she’s also covered college basketball. She first worked for the Longhorn Network, and then she joined the SEC Network.
She previously spent five years in CBS News’ Washington Bureau prior to joining ESPN.
The site reported that Hartung’s new role at CNN — expected to begin in April — will be based out of Atlanta as a national correspondent.
A graduate of the University of Florida and founder of Saturday Down South, Kevin is a college football enthusiast.
