University of Texas student and Austin native Glen Powell will serve as this week’s guest picker for ESPN’s “College GameDay” for the second time Saturday before the fourth-ranked Longhorns and the top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes clash in Austin.
The broadcast will be filmed live from the lawn of the LBJ Presidential Library and air from 8 a.m.-11 a.m. on ESPN and ESPNU. The top-five showdown will kick off at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium at 6:30 p.m. and be broadcast on Ch. 8.
The “Top Gun: Maverick” actor, who is wrapping up his undergraduate degree at Texas and expects to graduate this spring, went 7-5 in his first try picking games for “GameDay” before the Horns’ matchup with No. 1 Alabama during Week 2 of the 2022 season.
It will be the show’s 11th visit to Austin. The Longhorns have a 5-5 record in previous hosting appearances.
