Samantha Ponder Professional Career
Samantha worked as an ESPN host while she was in college, She was hosting and studying at the same time, yet she managed to balance both activities admirably.
She met Ben Keeperman while working there, and he wasn’t just a regular guy. Ben was a manager at ABC Sports Radio and a researcher for college football. Samantha also received a network internship, and thanks to her reasonable eagerness, she eventually advanced to become an ABC-TV assistant researcher within the studio.
Samantha left that job as well, though, because of the change in college and later became a sideline reporter for Liberty Flames not long after leaving ESPN.

Sam’s time at FOX was also sufficient to refine her professional abilities as she was therefore hired by ESPN in 2007 and permitted to report for Longhorn Network.
She collaborated with fellow ESPN recruits Lowell Galindo and Kevin Dunn during her time there. Samantha also continued hosting college football games on-site after moving to Austin, Texas.
