Beginning with his broadcasting career, LeGrand has taken off recently. He is in his fifth season working with 1450-WCTC as a color commentator for Rutgers football.

On top of that, he is the host of a weekly radio show on Sirius Channel 784 every Sunday during the football season and he is a weekly guest on ESPN’s College Football Podcast on Fridays during football season.

He also gets to work with Chris Carlin when they cover Rutgers athletics events, such as the Scarlet-White spring game, which the two covered on Saturday.

“My broadcasting career has been going amazing,” LeGrand told 247Sports. “Chris (Carlin) has become a mentor to me over the past five years and has taken me under his wing and taught me what I need to know.”

LeGrand approaches his broadcasting career with a similar vigor and passion to everything he does.

“My goal with my broadcasting is to get better every day and to constantly improve,” he said. “I am honored to have the opportunities I have in the broadcasting field and seeing my career take off has been great.”

Moving to his continued recovery, Eric has remained upbeat and positive as he has transitioned from going to physical therapy and rehab five times a week to three times a week. Now, he is at two times a week.

“I go to rehab every Tuesday and Thursday and get after it,” LeGrand said. “I have been making small improvements. I have been practicing standing in the frame and gaining more movement in my arms. For me, it is about staying positive and continuing to cherish the opportunities I have.”

One sign that has been optimistic for LeGrand is his ability now to do some more small things with his body.

“In the past year, I have made major improvements in doing the little things, like being able to move my body a little to help someone put a shirt on me or just extending my arms a little bit,” he said.

While he has made great improvements, the process is still ongoing for Eric, who has not given up on his dream of walking again.

“The process is a grind,” LeGrand said. “I have been working hard and attacking each and every day with the same passion and enthusiasm. Every day is a blessing and you have to go out and make the most of every day because you don’t know what tomorrow will hold.”

On the topic of his upcoming “A Walk to Believe,” which will take place on June 5 at High Point Solutions Stadium, LeGrand set the bar high for the philanthropic event’s sixth lap.

“This is the sixth walk coming up and we are hoping to raise $100,000 for the Reeves Foundation to help out all those that have paralysis and improve their quality of life and ultimately find a cure,” he said.

“Ultimately, all that is holding us back from finding a cure is funding and this event is meant to be a fun, family friendly event where we can also raise a lot of money to help find a cure.”

LeGrand left Rutgers247 with this message to any readers out there considering participating in his event.

“I hope you all can attend the event on June 5,” he said. “It is going to be a great event with a DJ, a BBQ, music and everything needed to be a really good time for a really good cause. The key is you the fans. Come out and support and bring just yourself or bring a team and have a great day and enjoy yourselves.”

247Sports would like to thank Eric for taking the time to talk with us and wish him the best of luck in his continued recovery and broadcasting career.
