According to Celebrity Net Worth, Fowler is worth $14 million and makes a salary of $3 million.
While he doesn’t have the NFL experience that his colleagues do, that doesn’t stop him from showing his knowledge of football.
During his time as a student at the University of Colorado, Fowler served as a producer and co-host for a weekly magazine program.
After graduating from Colorado, Fowler spent two years as a production assistant at KCNC-TV — Denver’s NBC affiliate at the time– before joining ESPN in 1986.
He came aboard first as the host and reporter of Scholastic Sports America, which lasted two years. Then, Fowler began hosting College GameDay in 1990 and expanded to ESPN’s other college football coverage in 1991.
In 2015, Rece Davis took over as GameDay’s host, but Fowler has stayed on as the play-by-play announcer of Saturday Night Football on ABC and College Football Playoff games.
He also hosts the annual Heisman Trophy presentation.
In 2014, Fowler signed a nine-year, $35 million contract. After that deal expired, he signed a multi-year deal to stay with ESPN, though the exact numbers are unknown.
In addition to being one of the biggest voices in college football, Fowler has expanded beyond just one sport.
Until 2006, Fowler was the lead studio host of College Basketball on ESPN. He also worked on ESPN’s Summer X Games from 1995 to 2000 and the Winter X Games from 1998 to 2000.
Fowler’s other experiences include Monday Night Football, the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Wimbledon, the Australian, French, and US Open tournaments, and some horse racing broadcasts.
