Molly McGrath Returns to ESPN as College Sports Sideline Reporter
By Kyle Koster
ESPN has hired Molly McGrath, the company announced Wednesday. She’ll serve as a sideline reporter for Friday night college football games and appear on College Football Live, according to the release.
McGrath comes from Fox Sports, where she was a top-line college football sideline reporter and co-hosted America’s Pregame. She previously worked in Bristol as a production assistant in 2011.
“My career has come full circle,” McGrath said in a video addressing the move. “I’m back here with ESPN and couldn’t be happier about it.”
McGrath’s sideline duties at Fox will be assumed by Shannon Spake, who was hired two weeks ago to work on the Gus Johnson-Joe Klatt announcing team.
