College Football season is incredibly close, as the long offseason is just a few weeks away from ending. Soon, our Saturdays will be full of traditions, zany endings, and terrible interceptions.
That means it’s time for a new ESPN College Football anthem. Past songs like Centuries by Fall Out Boy and Natural by Imagine Dragons have become memes during their respective seasons as college football’s anthem.
They’ve announced their anthem for this season, and it comes from rapper Jelly Roll with a new song, Get By. Take a look at ESPN’s new season preview, set to the song.
College football returns to ESPN platforms this month!
The '24-'25 @ESPNCFB anthem features a new track 'Get By' from award-winning, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter @JellyRoll615 🎶

The Nashville-based Jelly Roll has had the best stretch of his career lately, with hits like Wild Ones and Need A Favor. He seems like a perfect fit for the role.
College football is set to hit the ground running, too. While Week 0 doesn’t look quite as good as some other years, Week 1 has some blockbusters.
August 29th, the Thursday of Week 1, features a matchup that is going to get huge ratings as Deion Sanders and Colorado take on FCS powerhouse North Dakota State. Saturday features matchups like Clemson-Georgia, Miami-Florida, Notre Dame-Texas A&M, and Penn State-West Virginia. Sunday has USC taking on LSU, and Monday has Boston College-Florida State.
That Thursday night Colorado game is just three weeks away, and Jelly Roll will be welcoming us to the college football season.
