Brock Huard Stepping Aside From Fox Sports College Football Booth

Brock Huard revealed he is stepping aside from his role in the No. 2 Fox Sports CFB announce booth to be an assistant coach on his son’s high school football team.

Brock Huard revealed he is leaving the Fox Sports college football announcing booth to be present for his son Titus’s high school football years. 

“I’m going to be the tight ends coach at Valor Christian High School,” Huard said on the Real Hawk Talk podcast. Huard will be working under Mike Sanford, who’s been offensive coordinator at Notre Dame, Boise State, Minnesota, and Colorado. 

Huard joined Fox from ESPN in 2019. He has been paired with Jason Benetti on the network’s No. 2 announce team; Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt are in the top booth. Huard also works on UFL games for Fox, and is a cohost of Brock and Salk on Seattle Sports 710 AM. 

“I’m going to learn a lot of football,” Huard continued on the podcast. “I told him, for 18 years I’ve been in reaction mode. So much of my radio show, so much on game day. Yeah, I project, and I try to see how the game’s unfolding. But most of it is just reacting. [I’m] kind of excited and anxious to see what it’s like on the other side, to prepare, to be in ‘go mode’ from the coaching end of it—and learn a lot. I think I’ll be a better broadcaster, I think the radio show will be better.”

Huard reiterated he is leaving the college football booth but that he’s “kept the door open” to do some NFL games. “I’d like to still do [announcing] down the road, but for these years, these formative years, my son’s gonna be a sophomore. These are years I’ll never, ever, ever get back—and I’m gonna jump into it,” Huard said. 

Huard played quarterback at the University of Washington and was picked in the third round of the 1999 NFL Draft by the Seahawks. He made four starts for Seattle in 2000, and he was later a backup for Peyton Manning on the Colts. 

It was not immediately clear who will be replacing Huard in the announce booth. A Fox Sports spokesperson declined to comment.
