ESPN College GameDay analyst Lee Corso will miss Saturday’s broadcast from Jackson State due to an undisclosed health issue, the network announced Friday.

Saturday’s show will be the third this season the 87-year-old Corso has missed, as he unexpectedly sat out the Oct. 1 broadcast from Clemson and then was absent the following week at Kansas because the illness lingered. He returned Oct. 15 at Tennessee, and also filled his regular role at Oregon last week.

“Lee Corso will not travel to Jackson State for College GameDay due to a health issue,” ESPN announced in a statement Friday. “Coach Corso is in good spirits, and he hopes to be back on the road with the crew soon.”

Corso has been a fixture on College GameDay since its beginnings in the early 1990s, and his on-set antics and show-ending “headgear” picks have made him an icon within the college football world. He suffered a stroke in 2009, but has continued to work despite difficulties speaking at times.

Corso did not travel with GameDay in 2020 due to COVID restrictions, making his appearances remotely from a specially constructed set at his Florida home.

College GameDay airs from 8 a.m.-11 a.m. Central on ESPN. This week’s show will be on-site for the first time at Jackson State, as Deion Sanders’ Tigers host Southern in a key SWAC game.
