ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit headlined a Republican fundraiser despite previously stating he does not engage in politics or pick sides, according to a report from Yahoo Sports.
The appearance contrasts with Herbstreit's public comments that he avoids political involvement. Details about the fundraiser's date, location, and organizers were not disclosed in the initial report.
Herbstreit, a former Ohio State quarterback, has been a prominent voice on ESPN's College GameDay since 1996. His participation in a partisan political event marks a notable departure from his stated stance on political neutrality.
