ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit says he recently connected with long-time broadcast colleague Lee Corso and shared a health update amid Corso’s continued absence from the public eye. Herbstreit’s comments describe that he and Corso catch up ahead of the new college football season.
Both outlets report that Herbstreit and Corso, former colleagues, had time to talk before the season begins. The Oregonian focuses on the timing and context of the reunion, saying the two do so ahead of the college football year. Yahoo Sports similarly centers on Herbstreit’s outreach and the fact that the update comes while Corso remains out of view.
While both accounts agree that Herbstreit provides an update following their recent conversation and that it occurs before the season, they do not present detailed medical specifics beyond the general framing that Corso’s health is the reason for his reduced public presence.
