Hello!

My name is Jake Jesberger and I am currently a producer with Sport & Story at Penn State University. My main responsibility is producing the Penn State Pregame Show, which is a live football talkshow that leads up to kickoff every Saturday. This show is hosted by former PSU alumni Christian Hackenberg and Jason Cabinda. I am solely in charge of writing the rundown for the week, editing video and graphic elements, and directing the show.

 

Previously I worked at Mississippi State University where I covered all collegiate sports and created content such as documentary series, mic’d ups, film breakdowns, and podcasts. Alongside one other producer, we handled every aspect of production on the HailState+ platform. I shot games, edited videos, wrote scripts, conducted interviews, built graphics, cut social media promos, produced podcasts and manages the website. All of this can be found at hailstateplus.com. 

​

I attended Temple University in Philadelphia where I worked in the athletic department with the creative video and broadcast teams. I obtained a BA in Film & Media Arts with a concentration in producing in May of 2023.

​

Outside of my current profession I have freelanced for the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, Villanova University, and the Got Milk? ad campaign.

​

I am excited to continue my career in sports media and I cannot wait to see what we create together next!
