The former Auburn linebacker will be a regular on both SEC Now and SEC Football Final.
“Back when SEC Network launched in 2014, I was watching from afar and over the past few years, I knew I wanted to be part of that team,” Spikes said. “I played against and with so many of my fellow analysts and I feel like this is where I belong. I’m ready to get started. I want viewers to really understand my perspective of the game I love, and they can expect me to be bold, engaging and dramatic.”
Spikes hosts a podcast called Behind the Mask and previously worked as a 49ers analyst for NBC Sports Bay Area. He also had runs with NBCSN and SiriusXM, and worked as a game analyst on various ACC games over the years.
