Will Herring joins Auburn broadcast as sideline reporter

The Auburn Sports Network will have a different feel this upcoming season.

In addition to Jason Campbell taking over as radio analyst, replacing Stan White after 22 seasons, the network is adding a little defense to its sideline reporting.

Will Herring, a member of Auburn’s 2004 undefeated season, will share sideline reporter duties with former teammate Ronnie Brown. Paul Ellen returns to anchor the tailgate show, halftime report and post-game show, while Brad Law continues in his role as pre-game and post-game locker room host.

“The running back will split time on the sideline with another member of the 2004 team, and we get some defense with Will Herring,” Andy Burcham, the Voice of the Tigers, told “The Final Drive” on WNSP-FM 105.5 on Wednesday.

Herring had 141 total tackles and eight interceptions for the Tigers before he was drafted No. 161 overall in the 2007 NFL Draft.

Campbell’s move to the booth comes after the former quarterback spent the last seven seasons serving as the program’s pregame and halftime show analyst on the Auburn Sports Network. He has also worked several A-Day spring games as a radio analyst.
