Former Notre Dame and NFL free agent tight end Kyle Rudolph will call Big Ten games for NBC this fall, he told The Athletic earlier this week.
Rudolph, who spent his college career playing nationally televised home games on NBC with the Irish, will now step into a role calling games as part of the new Big Ten television package with NBC. Rudolph hasn’t officially retired from the NFL, but the step into broadcasting is a good indication that his playing days may be behind him.
Rudolph called Notre Dame’s spring football game in his first official warm-up for his new role. Prior to calling Notre Dame’s Blue-Gold game, he had never called a football game before.
