FOX Sports Radio is bolstering its weekend roster with the inclusion of two-time Pro Bowler and 12-year NFL Tight End Kyle Rudolph. Joining FSR weekend host Mark Willard, Rudolph will co-host FOX Football Sunday starting September 10.
This marks Rudolph’s segue into broadcasting, as he’s also slated to commentate on Big Ten games for Peacock this fall. The weekend lineup already includes former NFL players like LaVar Arrington, TJ Houshmandzadeh, and Plaxico Burress, among others. FSR recently also introduced FOX Sports Saturday with Alex Curry and Monse Bolaños, a women-led show that airs Saturday afternoons.
Rudolph expressed his enthusiasm saying, “I’m incredibly excited to join the FOX Sports Radio family and co-host FOX Football Sunday with Mark Willard. This is a fantastic opportunity to transition into a new chapter of my life after 12 amazing years in the NFL. I look forward to bringing my experiences from the field into the studio, sharing insights, and engaging with fans in a whole new way.”
In a joint statement, Don Martin, Executive Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia Sports, and Scott Shapiro, Senior Vice President of Programming for FOX Sports Radio said, “While Kyle excelled on the field, he also made a name for himself with how great he was on the mic. Fresh off the field, his thoughtful and insightful approach will be a tremendous addition to FOX Sports Radio on Sunday nights. The football weekend won’t be complete without hearing Kyle break it all down.”
