Curtis Friends, ESPN vice president of marketing, said in a statement, “There’s a powerful connection between music and college football and for more than a decade, the ESPN college football music anthem has been integral to the promotion of the sport while its release has marked the unofficial start to the season. Jelly Roll is a talented, award-winning artist whose music speaks to the passion of college football fans across the country, and we’re excited ‘Get By’ will soundtrack the sport all season long.”

The college football officially kicks off on Aug. 24, as ACC rivals Florida State and Georgia Tech face off starting at noon ET on ESPN at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland. Additionally, College GameDay Built by The Home Depot will make its season debut, onsite, prior to the game.

Jelly Roll has been a ubiquitous persona of late, including taking part in this year’s WWE SummerSlam on Aug. 3, participating in a recent Nashville television taping honoring the late country entertainer Toby Keith, teaming with MGK for the new song and music video “Lonely Road,” and even offering a surprise show in Tampa, Florida last month after fellow country artist Morgan Wallen was forced to postpone his stadium show due to illness.

Jelly Roll also recently extended his headlining Beautifully Broken Tour again, adding even more tour dates to the trek.
