Early life, family, educational background

Molly McGrath was born on 6 June 1989, in San Francisco, California USA. Her father is Michael McGrath who is Irish, and her mother is Deborah McGrath who has Spanish and Mexican ancestry – information about their occupations remains unknown. The reporter has an older brother Patrick, who is reportedly a product lead and builds marketing technology for Shopify.

Molly matriculated from St. Ignatius College Preparatory in 2007, continuing her studies at Boston College. While studying at university, she was the captain of the cheerleader team, but was also the recipient of the award for academic excellence from her college’s athletic director. She graduated in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication and Broadcast Journalism.

Career

Molly started paving her way to becoming a sports reporter when she was still in college; she asked the athletic director to grant her permission to conduct interviews with coaches and athletes, subsequently writing stories and publishing them on the college’s website BCEagles.com, so building a portfolio that eventually helped her secure her future jobs. During her college years, she was also an intern at WHDH-TV and NESN, and this experience helped her secure a job as a production assistant at ESPN when she graduated from college.

During the same year, Molly landed a job as a web reporter and host for the American professional basketball team Boston Celtics. Her responsibilities included producing, posting daily updates, offering exclusive interviews, and editing Boston Celtics’ website content. She was also a host and a sideline reporter at Comcast SportsNet New England (CSNNE), leading the show “Celtics Now”, and handling regional sports coverage.

In 2013, her talent was noticed by a Fox Sports executive, who offered her a position at the channel. Initially, McGrath was an update anchor, but her previous experience allowed her to climb up the career ladder quickly. After a year, she became the co-host of the show “America’s Pregame” alongside Mike Hill. Concurrently, she was also a sideline reporter, and provided coverage for Fox College Football and Fox College Basketball. Occasionally, she was also responsible for covering the National Football League (NFL) events at Fox. In 2015, the show “Battlebots” returned to the screens for its sixth season, with Molly as the host.

A year later, McGrath left Fox to return to ESPN, this time in the position of a sideline reporter and co-host in the show “College Football Live”, including for the ESPN College Football Friday Primetime games for the 2016 and 2017 college football seasons. In 2019, she started covering ESPN College Football Thursday Primetime and Saturday games. In 2022, ESPN announced on its Twitter account that they were offering Molly a new multi-year extension.

While working at ESPN, McGrath had the chance to cover multiple football bowls, such as Las Vegas Bowl, Orange Bowl, and Texas Bowl.
