David Pollack was one of nearly two-dozen ESPN on-air personalities laid off on Friday as part of the network’s downsizing and reorganization.
The longtime college football analyst spent 14 years on College GameDay, becoming a familiar face to fans on Saturdays during college football season. As the show transitions into a new phase, College GameDay host Rece Davis tweeted a heartfelt message to his former colleague.
“Class personified. I’ve joked for years that @davidpollack47 is the little brother I never wanted. Truth is, he’s as good a man & as good a friend as I could’ve ever hoped for. He’s a brother to me for life. He’s a man of God. He’s a selfless teammate, an exemplary family man,” Davis tweeted.
