Former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has been a fixture in ESPN’s NFL analysis since retiring from the league during the 2016 offseason. He added another assignment to his plate this week.
ESPN announced Monday that Hasselbeck will be among the crew calling Thursday night college football games with Adam Amin and Molly McGrath.
ESPN’s Thursday night game slate will have a new commentating team this season, as Matt Hasselbeck – who has been with ESPN since 2016, mainly as an NFL analyst – adds a regular college football game assignment to his studio work. The former Boston College quarterback will join Adam Amin and Molly McGrath on Thursday nights, while also continuing his prominent role on ESPN’s NFL studio programming. Amin moves to the new franchise, having previously called the network’s Friday and Saturday packages and McGrath adds Thursdays to her weekly schedule, while also joining a new Saturday crew. Hasselbeck appeared on multiple Thursday night college football telecasts the last two seasons as part of ESPN’s rotational analyst approach.
Hasselbeck played three seasons with the Colts (2013-15). He played in 15 games while making eight starts as the backup to current franchise quarterback Andrew Luck.
The announcement also stated that Hasselbeck will continue his work as an NFL analyst for ESPN.
