Tim Tebow Agrees to New Contract with ESPN, Heisman Winner and National Champion Releases Statement

Tim Tebow, a two-time NCAA national champion and 2007 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback with Florida, has agreed to a multi-year contract extension with ESPN to remain as a college football analyst, per a press release via Katie Callahan of ESPN PR.

Tebow will maintain his work on SEC Nation, SEC Network's pregame show. He will still provide analyst for ESPN's College Football Playoff programming as well. In addition, Tebow will still provide insight on College Football Live, SportsCenter and other programs.

"I love this game and getting to talk about it every Saturday with the crews on SEC Network and ESPN is a gift I don't take lightly," Tebow said in the release. "SEC fans bring a passion that never gets old, and I'm grateful I get to keep doing this alongside people who feel like family."

ESPN hired Tebow for SEC Network in December 2013, eight months before the channel officially launched prior to the 2014 college football season.

He's been with the network ever since. It's no surprise that ESPN sought Tebow out, considering that he's one of the most iconic SEC football players in the league's history and one of college football's biggest names in recent memory.

Over the course of his four Florida seasons, Tebow accounted for 88 passing touchdowns and 57 rushing scores. He also guided Florida to a 35-6 record during his three seasons as Florida's starter.
