“Lee Corso’s Health Concerns Spark Emotional Outpouring Ahead of 2025 Season: What Fans Need to Know”
Corso is close with many at ESPN, including longtime analyst Kirk Herbstreit. The former Ohio State quarterback, who lost his father several years ago, refers to Corso as a father figure.
“He basically put his arm around, just me, Chris (Fowler) and him,” Herbstreit said on “The Mental Game” podcast. “I’ll never forget how comfortable (he was). When our relationship changed, GameDay used to do commercials. My life changed from being single to then having (premature) babies. He’s a guy who asks you how are you really doing? I would open up and he would listen. My Dad didn’t listen real well. (Lee) would listen. Almost like the wisdom he was giving me.”
