Former NFL tight end Kyle Rudolph told The Athletic earlier this week that he intends to call select Big Ten games for NBC this fall. He will also call the USFL. Despite rumors, Rudolph has yet to announce his retirement from the NFL at age 32.
The former Notre Dame tight end will join the B1G’s new television package with NBC. He called Notre Dame’s spring game earlier this offseason, his first time calling a game.
According to an article by Sports Illustrated, Rudolph has Notre Dame to thank for the opportunity to step into the broadcast booth this fall.
“One hundred percent. (Notre Dame) was without question why,” he said. “I’m an anomaly, played 12 years in the NFL before starting my next chapter, but Notre Dame was still there opening doors and giving me opportunities.”
Football season is less than 50 days away, folks.
