Josh Pate Biography

Josh Pate is a prominent college football analyst and host of “Josh Pate’s College Football Show.” Hailing from Columbus, Georgia, Pate worked at a fabric warehouse after a brief stint in college. He discovered his passion for sports media through talk radio.

His broadcasting career began at WIOL, a Columbus ESPN affiliate, where a last-minute fill-in opportunity showcased his natural talent. By 2018, he was sports director at WLTZ NBC 38, launching “Late Kick” as a YouTube and Facebook Live show. The program’s success led to a 2020 move to 247Sports and CBS Sports HQ, where Pate’s insightful analysis, avoiding sensationalism, earned a massive following—his YouTube channel boasts nearly double the subscribers of competing shows—known for blending insider intel, strategic breakdowns, and sparring with college football fans through all his social channels.

Pate delivers immense engagement for his corporate partners with 24-minute viewer sessions, a rarity in digital media. In 2024, he signed a CBS Sports extension, securing ownership of his YouTube and podcast channels and rebranding them to his namesake. His candor and finger on the heartbeat of college football make him one of the most sought-after voices in the sport.
