Allison Williams, former ESPN sideline reporter, reportedly lands new broadcasting role
Allison Williams, the former ESPN sideline reporter for college football and college basketball, has reportedly landed a new job.
Williams explained her departure from ESPN nearly a year ago when she said in a video posted to Instagram that she was not given an accommodation from ESPN because did not want to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
About a month before her departure from ESPN, Williams announced that she would not cover games last fall because she and her husband were trying to have a second child, and she was against receiving the vaccine.
Outkick reports that Williams will work selective games with FOX Sports this season.
“I am beyond thrilled and so grateful to be joining FOX Sports’ coverage of College Football this fall. Having to step away from the sport and profession I love this past year has re-affirmed and reinvigorated the passion I have for this job.
“I can’t think of a more perfect way to return to the sidelines than with FOX and the tremendously talented crew of my former colleagues, Jason Benetti and Brock Huard. I am so grateful to the executive team at FOX, especially Brad Zager and Julie Boyd for giving me this opportunity.”
Since her departure from ESPN, Williams joined The Daily Wire to lead a special sports series that was expected to be available exclusively for Daily Wire members.
