NBC to team Noah Eagle, Todd Blackledge on Big Ten broadcasts

Some college football news on the announcer carousel.

The New York Post reported Friday that NBC has plucked Todd Blackledge from ESPN and will team the former Penn State quarterback with Noah Eagle on its Big Ten broadcasts.

Per The Post:

For Blackledge, 61, this will be his third network after runs at CBS and ESPN. He is expected to call the national championship on ESPN Radio Monday, which will be his final assignment with the network. He is considered ESPN’s No. 2 college football game analyst behind Kirk Herbstreit.

Eagle, the son of famed play-by-player, Ian, continues a meteoric rise. Besides being the radio voice of the Clippers, he gained national attention by calling the Nickelodeon NFL games with Nate Burleson. He also was a play-by-player on regular season NFL games for Fox Sports and NFL Network this season. With Fox Sports, he was a weekly play-by-player on its college football coverage.
