Noah Eagle, Todd Blackledge and Kathryn Tappen to call Big Ten Football on NBC

Noah Eagle, Todd Blackledge, and Kathryn Tappen will call Big Ten Football on NBC.

Every weekend from 2nd September through to 25th November, the trio will call a Big Ten Football game, which will be broadcast on NBC and streamed on Peacock.

Todd Blackledge, who quarterbacked Penn State to the national championship in 1982, begins his 30th season as a network college football analyst after spending the 1994-2022 seasons in the booth for ABC, CBS and, most recently, ESPN.

Noah Eagle – the son of NFL commentator Ian Eagle – joins NBC Sports’ Big Ten Saturday Night booth after calling college football for FOX last season and CBS in 2021.

Last December on NFL Network, Noah handled play-by-play for the largest comeback in NFL history (33 points) as the Minnesota Vikings defeated the Indianapolis Colts 39-36 in overtime.

And Kathryn Tappen, who joined NBC Sports in 2014, returns to the college football sidelines after eight seasons as sideline reporter for Notre Dame Football on NBC (2014-21) and hosting studio coverage last fall in South Bend.

“We are excited to showcase Big Ten Saturday Night on the NBC Sports’ primetime marquee,” said NBC Sports Executive Producer Sam Flood.

“When you hear Todd’s voice, you know it’s a big college football game. It has been that way for decades.

“Noah is one of the industry’s rising young play-by-play commentators, who has excelled calling numerous sports across multiple platforms for a wide range of audiences. We are thrilled to pair him in the booth with Todd.

“Kathryn has told the stories of so many memorable Notre Dame Football moments over the last decade in her on-field reporting and interviews. With their collective college football experience and great enthusiasm for the game, Todd, Noah and Kathryn join a production team that can’t wait to kick off the Big Ten season.”
