Kirk Herbstreit is an American journalist as well as a former professional football player, who was born in Centerville, Ohio on the 19th of August, 1969. He was a student at the Centerville High School and played football for the school team as a quarterback and in the mid-80s, debuted as a professional for the Ohio State Buckeyes team.
