Throughout the 2024 college football season, some of the most marquee matchups will air on Fox.
With marquee matchups come plenty of star power and, on Fox, that star power is not just limited to the field of play. For a sixth season, Fox will be home to "Big Noon Kickoff," the Saturday pregame studio show that sets the table for a day full of college football action.
Last year, Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram II added more star power to a panel that includes some of the most notable names in college football lore. As the new season gets underway, that same star power will be present on Fox's college football panel.
Meet Fox's star-studded "Big Noon Kickoff" lineup for the 2024 college football season.
Who makes up the Fox college football studio team?
Rob Stone, host
Stone has hosted "Big Noon Kickoff," since its inception in 2019. He anchors the star-studded lineup of Fox's college football studio team.
A network mainstay since 2012, Stone also hosts Fox's studio coverage of soccer and college basketball.
Mark Ingram II, analyst
Ingram, winner of the 2009 Heisman Trophy, returns to the set in 2024 for a second season on Fox's college football studio team. Ingram, the New Orleans Saints' all-time rushing leader, retired from the NFL in 2023 and announced a full-time transition to broadcasting shortly after.

Matt Leinart, analyst
Leinart is the other Heisman Trophy winner on the panel and joined Fox's "Big Noon Kickoff" team when the show began in 2019.
The former USC signal caller retired from football in 2013 and transitioned into the media with appearances on FS1's football programming throughout the season. That role has since blossomed into his seat on the studio show's panel.
Urban Meyer, analyst
Meyer first joined Fox's college football studio team in 2019 after his first retirement from coaching. He left the studio to return to the sidelines in 2021 to coach the Jacksonville Jaguars but was fired 13 games into his lone season.

Brady Quinn, analyst
Quinn has been a member of the "Big Noon Kickoff" crew since the show's inaugural season in 2019.
While Quinn was a first-round pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, he is mostly known for his four-year career as Notre Dame's star QB. Quinn is an active analyst whose work can be found on various networks in addition to his role with Fox.
Known affectionately as "The Bear," Fallica is the crew's resident wagering expert. From picks and spread analysis, the studio show relies on Fallica for his expertise.
Bruce Feldman, reporter
