Joe Cowart and Matt Hayes – a National College Football Columnist for Bleacher Report – love talking sports, and never miss a beat on the latest local, national high school, college and professional news. Whatever the hottest sports issues are, expect these guys to be diving headfirst into them with their expert insights and opinions, and without apologies. XL Primetime is where you’ll also get to double-dip, as former Jaguars great Leon Searcy joins the team each day, adding insights only a former pro player can provide.
Joe is a former radio Program Director and a leading on-air sports personality for over 20 years in Jacksonville sports.

He also is the voice of several PGA Tour Production features available on their website.
Matt Hayes is an award-winning writer who has covered college football for over 25 years. Currently, Matt writes for Saturday Down South and Stadium.

Former Jaguars Offensive Lineman Leon Searcy joins the “XL Primetime” crew every weekday from 12:00 PM -1:30 PM for Lunch with Leon. Leon is a beloved and respected former NFL All-Pro offensive lineman, an All-American for the University of Miami who was a first round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers, before playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars. His perspective as a player provides compelling radio.

She previously worked as a Sports Anchor/Reporter at First Coast News.

Mia had the opportunity to cover the Hawkeyes’ 2015 Rose Bowl season her first year in Iowa, as well as multiple NCAA Tournament’s (the highlight being Northern Iowa’s buzzer-beater win over Texas in 2016).
