Justin Thomas will be College GameDay's guest picker for Alabama vs. LSU
No. 2 LSU and No. 3 Alabama won’t be the only top-four attractions in Tuscaloosa, Ala., this weekend. Former Crimson Tide golfer and current world No. 4 Justin Thomas announced Friday that he will be the guest picker for ESPN's College GameDay on Saturday.
Thomas, who won a national championship with the Crimson Tide in 2013, is a former world No. 1 and has claimed 11 PGA tour wins, including the PGA Championship in 2017.
While Saturday will mark the eighth time Alabama has hosted College GameDay since 2011, Thomas is just the second guest picker with ties to the Crimson Tide over that span. Alabama legend Joe Namath served as the guest picker before the 2014 Iron Bowl.
Retired CBS broadcaster Verne Lundquist was the last guest to do the honors as he held the role for the 2016 game against Texas A&M.
College GameDay is set to broadcast live on ESPN from 8-11 a.m. CT. It will take place from the Quad in the center of Alabama’s campus. Alabama (8-0, 5-0 in the SEC) and LSU (8-0, 4-0) will kick off at 2:30 p.m. inside Bryant-Denny Stadium
