By From Pat McAfee parody videos to WWE Emcee dreams, former pro athlete and TBL exec Jennifer Magley is making bold moves to break into sports entertainment—on her own terms.
Indianapolis, IN – April 14, 2025 – Qwoted Newswire – Move over red carpets—Jennifer Magley has her sights set on turnbuckles and broadcast tables.
The former NCAA Champion, professional athlete, Division I Head Coach, and current executive for The Basketball League (TBL) is looking to pivot from the boardroom to the background… of the Pat McAfee Show and possibly ringside at WWE. And she’s not doing it quietly.
Magley recently took the stage alongside longtime WWE On-Air Talent Byron Saxton, co-emceeing a high-energy WWE Community event in Indianapolis ahead of this year’s Royal Rumble. It was a dream moment for Magley — but it was only the beginning.
“It was a dream come true to get to announce Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton and watch Gainbridge Fieldhouse erupt with excitement for all the WWE is doing in Indiana,” said Magley.
Not one to wait to be discovered by big brands, she recently created a buzz—dressing up as Pat McAfee himself in a full-blown parody video to get on the former NFL punter’s radar. “Some people send emails,” she joked during a recent keynote. “I dressed like McAfee and cut a promo.”
Magley shared this story—and her broader tactics for landing on the world’s biggest stages—during a keynote speech at University of Indianapolis Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center as part of the Integrating Women Leaders “Rise & Thrive” series. Her message? If the spotlight comes to your city, ensure you’re ready to stand in it.
“Why not me? I’ve coached NCAA athletes, I’ve been a pro athlete, and now I’m helping run a national professional basketball league,” said Magley. “So yeah—I am shooting my shot to be a certified background stooge on The Pat McAfee Show. With WWE signing an unprecedented multi-year deal with Indianapolis and McAfee filming in my backyard, it’s foolish to not go for it. They are the largest brands in the world.”
With her sports pedigree, charisma, and fearless approach to visibility, Magley is carving out a one-of-a-kind lane at the intersection of athletics, entertainment, and personal branding. Whether it’s holding a mic at a WWE event or aiming to inch into the frame on McAfee’s broadcast, one thing is certain: Jennifer Magley isn’t waiting for a script—she’s writing her own.
