Brant would leave ABC for CBS in 1987. In 1991, Brant returned to ABC in the booth as an analyst and play-by-play man for college football, a role he held until 2007.

Brant is often best known for his coverage of college football with Keith Jackson. While with ABC, Brant announced three National Championship games. And while working with Keith Jackson, he was listed as college football's top analyst by numerous publications, including USA Today.
