3. He started broadcasting as a college student 

While attending the University of Notre Dame where he was graduated with a degree in Film, Television, and Theatre, Jac had already started heading towards the path of broadcasting sports when he worked on the sideline production team for Fighting Irish football games on NBC from 2013-2017. He further produced and hosted a weekly ND Live digital series that was solely on the University’s football.

4. The wife of Jac Collinsworth 

The private life of Jac has remained a mysterious one since he wouldn’t share details with the public. Even though rumor has juggled the internet that he is married to Nicole De Francisco, the broadcaster has neither accepted nor denied the rumor.

5. His father played professional American football for almost a decade 

Cris Collinsworth attended the University of Florida where he played college American football.
