Clay Travis is moving on from OutKick. He teased what’s next in his final episode.
What We Know: It was announced Monday that Travis will leave OutKick as part of a new deal with Fox News. He’s spent the past 15 years with the brand since founding it. He sold OutKick to FOX in 2021. During his final YouTube episode with the show, he shared his thinking behind the exit and what’s next.
What They Said: “I feel like I’m getting to go out on my own terms at OutKick with it being at its absolute apex. It’s fully grown. I’ve been thinking about this a lot because my oldest son graduated from high school just a couple weeks ago, and he’s now off to college. He’s an adult. I feel like OutKick is a fully grown site that’s an adult. I’m looking forward to building something new. I’m going to share more details about that going forward.” -Clay Travis
What Remains Unclear: What Travis’ future endeavors entail. He has teased a new company that he looks forward to building. However, he has not shared any inkling of what it will be.
What It Means: Travis and OutKick have become synonymous over the past decade and a half. He wasn’t shy about his willingness to leave what he built behind. Now he’ll have the opportunity to build something new. We’ll see how closely it will resemble OutKick once he announces his future plans.
