Brad Nessler Replacing Verne Lundquist on "SEC on CBS" in 2017
By Kyle Koster
Verne Lundquist is stepping down from his SEC on CBS play-by-play role after the 2016 season, the network announced today. Brad Nessler will replace him in 2017 alongside Gary Danielson.
Nessler will call SEC games this season on weeks when two air on CBS. ESPN announced they did not renew his contract earlier this month, ending a 24-year stint with the company.
Lundquist, embarking on his 53rd year in television, will continue his college basketball and golf duties.
