2024 – Jac Collinsworth, NBC Notre Dame announcer

Finally comes the most recent entry, Jac Collinsworth. It was surprising when NBC gave Collinsworth such a big assignment in his late 20s taking over as the voice of his alma mater. It’s a role that had been previously filled by some of the biggest names in the industry – Charlie Jones, Mike Tirico, Tom Hammond, Dan Hicks, and others. Collinsworth clearly wasn’t ready to fill those shoes, at least not at this point in his career. After two years of rough reviews, NBC is returning to Hicks as the voice of the Irish once again.
