Ties between traditional sports and esports are growing stronger by the day. Professional athletes and executives continue to be more intimately involved in the gaming world. Jordan Kent, a former Oregon Ducks athlete and NFL player for the Seattle Seahawks, is one of those. However, he’s involved in a much different way than the rest.
Kent, an ultra-rare three sport athlete in college (basketball, football and track), spent the last week as a broadcaster for the E3 video game trade show in Los Angeles. He’s no stranger to the broadcast world as he works for Comcast SportsNet in Portland hosting shows on the Ducks and Trail Blazers.
