ESPN's College GameDay will turn to a familiar face to fans in Georgia and throughout SEC country for its celebrity guest picker this Saturday.
Eagles linebacker Nolan Smith will make predictions on Saturday's edition of the pregame show, ESPN announced Thursday evening. Philadelphia is on a bye this week, in between games against the Cowboys and Chiefs.
This week's edition of College GameDay will broadcast from Athens, Ga. as Georgia hosts Ole Miss in a battle of SEC and CFP contenders.
Smith is in his rookie year with the Eagles, and has played in all nine of Philadelphia's games. The Eagles drafted him with the 30th overall pick of April's draft.

With the Bulldogs, Smith anchored one of the most feared defenses in college football history in 2021. A torn pectoral muscle ended the Savannah native's season early in 2022, but Georgia won the national title for the second straight year.
This will be College GameDay's ninth trip to Athens, tied for the 11th-most appearances of any host site.
