ESPN announced on Tuesday that they have hired former UConn football quarterback Dan Orlovsky as an analyst for college football and the NFL. He will mostly work as a commentator for college football as a game and studio analyst.
Orlovsky will work Friday and Saturday games on ESPN and ESPN2 with Clay Matvick and Paul Carcaterra. The 12-year NFL veteran will also appear in-studio throughout the season while also appearing on ESPN’s college football programs, SportsCenter and Get Up!, discussing the collegiate and professional game in addition to some work with ESPN Radio.
This past NFL season, Orlovsky got his start as a Twitter analyst when he felt the in-game broadcast wasn’t going in-depth enough on certain plays he felt were key.
