This will be the first fall in 15 years that ESPN reporter Allison Williams will not be sideline reporting for college football games.
The move comes as Williams announced she will not be receiving the COVID vaccine as she hopes to grow her family.
Williams made the announcement on Twitter Thursday:
This will be the first fall in the last 15 years I won’t be on the sidelines for College Football.
