What happened to Brandon Walker from Barstool? Is he still at Barstool?

Brandon Walker is still at Barstool as of October 2026, and we found no report in major or trade press of him leaving, being suspended or being fired. What changed is his show lineup. On July 15, 2026 he and Kayce Smith ended Unnecessary Roughness, and on August 3 he launched The Brandon Walker College Football Show on the same YouTube channel and social accounts, per Awful Announcing. On October 5, 2026 he was on FS1’s Wake Up Barstool, where he said losing Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff would take a six-week stretch off his schedule, per Awful Announcing.

Why did Unnecessary Roughness end? What happened between Brandon Walker and Kayce Smith?

Brandon Walker and Kayce Smith both said ending Unnecessary Roughness was a joint decision, not a falling out. On the July 15, 2026 finale Walker said, “This is the very last Unnecessary Roughness,” and that he was not going solo because he was tired of working with Kayce Smith: “I love Kayce Smith,” per Awful Announcing. He also credited her with making him the host he is. He told listeners he wanted to “take a bite at the apple” on his own, pointing to Josh Pate’s independent success, and that he could not lean only on The Yak and Mostly Sports, per Barrett Media. The two still work together on the Barstool College Football Show.

Did Brandon Walker go to Mississippi State? Did he play college football?

Brandon Walker is a Mississippi State fan on the record; whether he studied there, he has not said in anything we could source as of October 2026. Arizona Sports called him a Mississippi State superfan in September 2025, and SuperTalk Mississippi wrote in July 2021 that he was one of the big fan stories of the Bulldogs’ College World Series run. We found no record of him playing college football or any other college sport. Part of the confusion is a different Brandon Walker: a 6-foot-7 basketball forward who committed to Mississippi State as a transfer from Montana State in May 2025, per On3. That is not the Barstool host.

In late August 2026 he appeared on The Rich Eisen Show, which now streams under ESPN, and Dave Portnoy then teased him on Wake Up Barstool as “ESPN’s Brandon Walker,” given Barstool’s partnership with Fox. Walker said, “I didn’t know The Rich Eisen Show was on ESPN, and that’s my defense,” per Awful Announcing and Barrett Media. On October 5, 2026 he called Ohio State coach Ryan Day a “cowardly coach” over reports that Day kept Barstool talent off campus, per Awful Announcing. In September 2025 he disputed Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham’s remark about Starkville hotels, then had him on Wake Up Barstool and admitted he had overreacted, per Arizona Sports. We found no report in major or trade press of Barstool suspending or disciplining him.
