SEC Network rising star Laura Rutledge has been named as the new host of the national network’s traveling pre-game show SEC Nation, featuring Tim Tebow, Marcus Spears and Paul Finebaum.
Rutledge, a graduate of the University of Florida having majored in broadcast journalism, was a reporter on SEC Nation last season and hosted the network’s studio show SEC Now year-round. She will replace the show’s previous host Maria Taylor.
“Between me and Tim Tebow, we are going to have a lot of Gators on that set,” Rutledge said on The Pat Dooley Show.
