Former NFL quarterback Matt Cassel is set to join NBC Sports’s Big Ten coverage as a football analyst, the New York Post’s Andrew Marchand reported Monday.
Cassel most recently worked as an analyst for NBC Sports Boston and The 33rd Team since retiring from the NFL after the 2018 season.
The quarterback isn’t especially known for his college career, as he served in a backup role at USC from 2001–04 behind Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart. He played in 34 games in his four-year career, but didn’t start any of them.
