Aaron Fentress Takes on New Role as NFL and Seahawks Insider & Dani Klupenger Joins NBC Sports Northwest as NFL Contributor

 

PORTLAND, OR (September 5, 2018) – NBC Sports Northwest today announced it will for the first time present coverage of the NFL and the Seattle Seahawks. Coverage of the 2018 NFL season will include daily in-depth digital video and editorial content on NBCSportsNorthwest.com.

 

Aaron Fentress takes on a new role as NFL and Seahawks Insider, serving fans with custom content on former Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers players in the NFL, weekly power rankings, news around the league, and weekly Seahawks reports with coaches and players. Fentress previously served as NBC Sports Northwest’s University of Oregon Ducks beat reporter and host, and before that was the beat reporter for the Seahawks and Ducks with The Oregonian.

 

Pacific Northwest native and former L.A. Rams reporter, Dani Klupenger, joins NBC Sports Northwest as a regular NFL contributor, adding weekly on-location content from Seattle, Wash.

 

As Fentress moves to cover the NFL, Bri Amaranthus, who has served as a Ducks contributing reporter for the past few years, slides into her new role as the network’s Oregon Ducks Insider. Amaranthus will report from Ducks games and practices, contributing scouting reports, player spotlights and on-site interviews with players and coaches. Amaranthus will also contribute to NBC Sports Northwest’s weekly Ducks football program, Talkin’ Ducks.

“NBC Sports Northwest is excited to add NFL and Seattle Seahawks coverage tailored to the passionate and unique Northwest sports fan,” said Len Mead, General Manager of NBC Sports Northwest. “The Seahawks and the NFL are enormously popular in Washington and Oregon, and as we increase our investment in digital content, the time is right to dedicate some of our top talent to the beat.”
