Laura Rutledge Leaving SEC Nation - Columbia SC Photographer Travis Bell
It's been interesting watching ESPN's Laura Rutledge's career over the last 10+ years. She joined the SEC Network in 2014 and began hosting SEC Nation in 2017. The network recently announced she is leaving SEC Nation to expand her NFL coverage, continue to host NFL Live and serve as a sideline reporter or Monday Night Football.
This image is from a portrait session in Charlotte I did for ESPN when it was announced she was joining SEC Nation as the host. She was an absolute joy to work with and we laughed so much it hurt. This image is one of those fun moments.

Clemson's Nick Davidson and SMU's Samet Yigitoglu were going at it Tuesday night. I thought one or the other might end up in stitches at one point. This was just one of those moments. (Travis Bell/SIDELINE CAROLINA)
