On3 has announced the hiring of Ari Wasserman as a national college football reporter. Wasserman is starting immediately, and he will reunite with his former podcast partner Andy Staples. The two hosted a podcast together while both worked for The Athletic. They will host the Andy & Ari On3 show which will air on the On3 YouTube channel.
Wasserman recently left The Athletic after being with them since 2017. He started as the Ohio State beat reporter before he switched to a national role and focused on recruiting.
Wasserman is the latest addition to the On3 college football team, joining Staples, J.D. PicKell, Steve Wiltfong, Chad Simmons and Pete Nakos.
“When I think about how college football is — and going to be — consumed by fans, multimedia is right at the center of that vision,” said Wasserman in a release. “On3 has proven from day one that an emphasis on podcasts and videos is a prime focus along with good, compelling writing. The opportunity to join one of my best friends in this industry and former podcast co-host Andy Staples to recreate the magic was very attractive.
“But when combined with On3’s brand and support of its multimedia endeavors, it was an absolute no-brainer. I came to On3 to make the best college football podcast on Earth and it’s clear to me we have the team to do it here.”
