Academy Award winner named ESPN’s College GameDay’s guest picker ahead of Ole Miss-LSU
The celebrity will make a "GameDay" debut on Saturday at Ole Miss.
Morgan Freeman, the acclaimed Academy Award-winning actor, will be the guest picker for ESPN’s College GameDay ahead of the highly anticipated matchup between No. 8 Ole Miss and No. 7 LSU on Saturday, Sept. 19. Freeman, a Mississippi native and long-time Ole Miss fan, will be the first person to appear on the show from his home state.
This will be the third time “College GameDay” visits Oxford, with the last occurrence in 2021 under the direction of Lane Kiffin, then the Ole Miss head coach. Kiffin is only the second head coach in AP Poll history to face a top-10 opponent he previously coached, joining Paul Brown, who led Ohio State in 1944. The show will feature various personalities, including Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, and Nick Saban, along with college football insiders Pete Thamel and Stanford Steve Coughlin.
The show premieres on ESPN from 8 a.m.-11 a.m. (9 a.m. - noon ET/ 6 a.m.-10 a.m. PT) with highlights and guests, including Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding joining the set prior to the game.
