    During a recent conference, the ESPN college football analyst and Amazon Prime NFL analyst made a disturbing admission:

    The 55-year-old college football analyst, who played collegiately at Ohio State – his dad coached for the Buckeyes, too – revealed that Will Howard received death threats.

    Howard, an NFL Draft pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers, received death threats after sliding too late in a 32-31 loss at Oregon back in October of 2024.

    “Will Howard, he took a knee against Oregon,” said Herbstreit during an appearance on The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk.

    “He played his a– off at Oregon. He took a knee because he lost the time. And he took death threats. It’s so insane that these people have a voice to get to you. And you have just got to somehow insulate yourself the best you can. Because it is brutal.”

    College football fans are disturbed by Herbstreit’s admission on Monday.

    “Not OK,” one fan wrote.

    “Some fans are crazy,” another fan wrote.

    “This is just disturbing,” one fan added.
