Kirk Edward Herbstreit is an American college football analyst for ESPN's College GameDay. He also provides color commentary for college football games on ESPN and ABC, and Herbstreit has won five Sports Emmy Awards in various categories for his television work.
Kirk works for ESPN's College GameDay, which broadcasts college football games. Before moving on to a broadcasting career, he was a quarterback for Ohio State. Though he did not get much exposure during his rookie year, he improved and became the starting quarterback for the following season.
Kirk graduated from Centerville High School in Ohio. During his senior year there, he was the Gatorade Player of the Year. Along with football, Kirk was also an exceptional baseball player. After waiting four years, he finally got his chance to lead the team as a senior in 1992. That same year brought him much recognition as he was named co-captain and voted the team MVP. His 1992 season included four 200 yard games.
Kirk married his high school sweetheart, Alison Butler, in 1998; she was a cheerleader at Kirk's high school. The couple had four sons during their marriage. Jake and Tye are identical twins. Their third son Zak is two years younger than the twins, and the youngest son Chase is four years younger than Zak.
In 2007, the news of Kirk having an affair with the wife of a Columbus police officer came out. Jerry Dunlaw, a fan of Kirk, once asked Kirk to sign his wife's chest after a football game. Jerry ended up divorcing his wife Tracy on adultery because of her five-year affair with Kirk. Kirk admitted he was involved with Tracy and expressed regret for his actions which affected their lives. Several reports of Kirk having another affair with Erin Andrews, but he and his wife have never publicly addressed the rumor.
Kirk and his wife Alison were trying to stay strong when the news filled up with reports of his affair with Tracy. There were rumors of the couple getting separated, but a divorce never happened.
Kirk's college football statistics as a quarterback include 2,437 passing yards, 197 completions, 349 attempts, 11 interceptions, and five touchdowns. Kirk played the quarterback position for Ohio State University from 1989 to 1992.
During the final season of his college football career, Kirk completed 155 of 265 passes for 1,900 yards with four touchdowns and six interceptions. Ohio State University college football officials offended Kirk Herbstreit when they limited Kirk's passing attempts. He felt that he could have had more success if given more chances to pass the ball.
He held the Ohio State record for pass completions, and he completed 28 passes in a tie against the University of Michigan. The very next year, he graduated with a degree in Business Administration.
