Report: Paul Skenes Will be College GameDay Guest Picker

ESPN’s College GameDay will head to Baton Rouge this Saturday and Pittsburgh Pirates star pitcher Paul Skenes will reportedly be a guest picker.

According to On3’s Pete Nakos, Skenes will be on the desk as a celebrity guest picker alongside his girlfriend, LSU gymnast and social media sensation Livvy Dunne.

The College GameDay crew, which consists of Reece Davis, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban, Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso, will be at LSU as the Tigers take on the Alabama Crimson Tide in a battle of ranked opponents at Tiger Stadium on Saturday night.

Skenes will join the desk with Dunne late in the show to make predictions on a handful of scheduled college football games on Saturday.

The 22-year-old just wrapped up his first season with the Pirates after he was selected with the first pick in the 2023 draft. Skenes, the National League Rookie of the Year favorite, went 11-3 with a sensational 1.96 ERA and set the Pirates’ rookie record with 170 strikeouts in 133 innings.

Dunne, meanwhile, is a fifth-year senior on the LSU gymnastics team after helping guide the Tigers to their first National Championship in April. In addition to her athletic achievements, Dunne has millions of followers across social media, including eight million on TikTok.

ESPN College GameDay will air on ESPN at 9 a.m. ET on Saturday.
