Jelly Roll ProfileJelly Roll is about to add another achievement to his name, with a forthcoming song called Get By set to be the ESPN College Football Anthem over the 2024-2025 season.
Get By, which will feature on the singer’s yet-to-be-announced upcoming album, will be heard at the beginning of the season later this month: Saturday, 24 August.

The 2024-2025 season is the 11th season that ESPN has partnered with an artist to host a College Football Anthem. Jelly Roll is the second country artist (following Lauren Alaina) to receive the honour, with a pre-country Post Malone, Imagine Dragons, Thirty Seconds To Mars, Fall Out Boy, and more creating an anthem for ESPN.
On his Instagram Stories, Jelly Roll shared a video teaser announcement about his College Football Anthem, writing: “College Football on ESPN. Yeah, that’s how I get by.”

In a statement, Curtis Friends, the ESPN Vice President of Marketing, said about locking in Jelly Roll for this year’s College Anthem (via The Tennessean):
There’s a powerful connection between music and college football and for more than a decade, the ESPN college football music anthem has been integral to the promotion of the sport while its release has marked the unofficial start to the season.
Jelly Roll is a talented, award-winning artist whose music speaks to the passion of college football fans across the country, and we’re excited ‘Get By’ will soundtrack the sport all season long.
