Looking forward to some SEC football?
The spring season is coming.
ESPN announced on Wednesday its extensive plans to broadcast the professional days of the conference, as well as the spring games. All ESPN and SEC Network events will be broadcast live on Fubo.
Defending national champion Alabama will have its Day A activities broadcast on Saturday, April 17, at noon (1 pm) on ESPN. Tide’s professional day will also be broadcast on the SEC Network on March 23.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
On Wednesday, March 31, the SEC Network will have four hours of pro-day coverage, featuring LSU and Florida, with ESPN NFL analyst Ryan Clark live from Baton Rouge and Florida legend Chris Doering reporting from Gainesville. In the studio, Peter Burns and former Alabama star Roman Harper will be at the table, with former Auburn coach Gene Chizik, live from home.
Pro Day events generally include weight training in the weight room, bench press, vertical jump, wide jump, as well as a 40-yard run, 60-yard transport and position exercises for players entering the NFL Draft.
Many of the spring games will be broadcast live on SEC Network +, which is free via the ESPN app.
