Overview
- Front Office Sports and multiple outlets report that Trey Wingo will anchor The OG Football Crew with Merril Hoge, Damien Woody and Mark Schlereth serving as analysts.
- The show is scheduled to debut with a season-preview on Sept. 7 and then air weekly on Mondays to recap the four best games from the previous day.
- Initial distribution will be on YouTube and standard audio podcast platforms, and the program is planned to run through Super Bowl LXI before pausing for the offseason.
- Excel Sports executives Kevin Hopkins, Ryan Orozco and KC Murphy are reportedly negotiating wider distribution deals and sponsorships to commercialize the project beyond its launch platforms.
- The move continues a broader trend of ex-network talent launching direct-to-audience digital shows after ESPN departures, offering former on-air personalities a way to monetize niche studio chemistry outside linear TV.
