Earlier this month, Jess Sims was announced as the newest addition to the College GameDay program as a sports reporter. Since then, it has been a whirlwind for her to get the chance to live a dream.
She appeared on SiriusXM’s College channel to discuss her new gig.
“I don’t even know where to begin, to be honest,” Sims said. “Life happens as it’s moving forward, but it only makes sense looking backwards. Even with the whole interview process and talking with the team at ESPN, it’s been a dream come true and something that I kind of manifested in so many different ways.”
Sims said going to school and playing at a smaller school made her want to be a part of the bigger school atmospheres and their crowds and that she always wanted to be part of something bigger than herself.
“Long story short, to get this role is mind blowing,” she said. “It is an opportunity of a lifetime just to join the cast of incredible, incredible people that are already on the team that have made the last 35 season such a success.”
