About

Laura Rutledge, born Laura McKeeman on October 2, 1988, in St. Petersburg, Florida, embarked on her career after graduating from the University of Florida with a major in broadcast journalism. Before her extensive work in sports broadcasting, she was crowned Miss Florida in 2012, showcasing her talent in ballet during the competition. This early experience in public presentation laid a foundation for her future in media.

Rutledge’s professional journey in sports journalism began with Fox Sports, where she served as a sideline reporter for the Tampa Bay Rays and later the San Diego Padres. She expanded her experience by providing on-field reporting for Fox College Sports’ coverage of the NCPA’s 2012 National Paintball Championship. In 2013, she hosted ‘Chargers Insider’ for the San Diego Chargers and created ‘SD Live’ at Fox Sports San Diego as its producer and host. These roles allowed her to develop her skills in live reporting and program hosting.

In 2014, Rutledge joined ESPN and the SEC Network, marking a significant step in her career. She became a host for ‘SEC Nation’ on the SEC Network in 2017 and, in August 2020, took on the role of host for ESPN’s ‘NFL Live.’ Her contributions also include anchoring ‘SportsCenter,’ hosting red carpet coverage for ‘The Home Depot College Football Awards’ and the ‘ESPYs,’ and covering major events like the College Football Playoff and various NCAA Championships. In August 2025, she is slated to join the ‘Monday Night Football’ team as a full-time sideline reporter alongside Lisa Salters.
