Robert Turbin is headed to broadcast television.

The former Utah State Aggies running back, who later played eight seasons in the NFL, will be a college football game analyst for CBS Sports Network this fall, the network formally announced on Wednesday.

Turbin will be joined as a newbie by former college head coach Tom Herman, who last was in the college game with the Texas Longhorns before spending last season with the NFL’s Chicago Bears.
