McFarland, LSU's former All-American and a first-round NFL draft pick, is being elevated from the SEC Network to ABC. He’ll serve as the national network's in-studio analyst during college football Saturdays, working alongside former Texas coach Mack Brown and new anchor Kevin Negandhi.

“Very excited,” McFarland told The Advocate on Tuesday afternoon. “I’ve enjoyed the last three years getting to talk about the schools in the SEC. This is the next step, expanding and being able to discuss more teams around the country. It’s still going to be the same me in the studio: honest and informative and entertain people.”

I knew he was good at his job since day 1 on the SEC Network. Happy for him and great rep for LSU.

Will miss him on the SEC Network. ABC studio has been unwatchable, he will improve it.

I had a class with him during my freshman year at LSU in the fall of '95. He was definitely a likable guy then and appears to be that way on TV also.

Glad he is getting a bump, but I sure hate to see him leave the SECN.

I've noticed this too. TBH, I was sometimes surprised with how hard he was on LSU sometimes. I give him a lot of credit for being able to be fair like that. He also gives good evaluations on other teams as well.

Congrats to Booger, happy for him.
