Pat McAfee continues to expand his post-NFL resume.

The 2005 Plum grad and former punter for the Indianapolis Colts has developed a loyal following for the Pat McAfee Show, which has nearly 2 million subscribers on YouTube.

On Thursday, he signed a multiyear extension with WWE.

He has served as an analyst on “Friday Night Smackdown” since April 2021 and has even made in-ring appearances.

McAfee, 35, played college football at West Virginia and was drafted in the seventh round by the Colts in 2009. During an eight-year NFL career, he was a two-time Pro-Bowl selection and an All-Pro in 2014. He averaged 46.4 yards per punt.

Since retiring, he has been an analyst on Fox Sports’ college and NFL broadcasts and was part of ESPN’s Thursday Night College Football broadcast team in 2019. He also has worked with DAZN and Westwood One.

At Plum, he played football, soccer and volleyball.

Earlier this summer, he donated more than $230,000 worth of athletic equipment and supplies to Plum Borough School District.
