Former LSU star Marcus Spears signs ESPN contract extension

Former LSU All-America defensive end Marcus Spears has signed a contract extension with ESPN.

Spears, 35, who has worked for ESPN since 2014, has earned more and more airtime on various shows.

He's a regular on College Football Live, SportsCenter, SEC Now and SEC Nation.

He contributed to SEC Network's coverage of National Signing Day and was a field analyst for several SEC spring football games in 2018.

Spears is also one half of SEC Network's debut studio show, "Thinking Out Loud" with co-host and former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy.

"Marcus is invaluable to our football coverage for a myriad of reasons, most especially because of his knowledge of the game and his connection to our audience," said Tom McCollum, SEC Network senior coordinating producer.
