Penn State football alum LaVar Arrington will be College GameDay’s guest picker for its Saturday show on Old Main Lawn, ESPN PR announced in a press release. It’s the first time Arrington will be the guest picker.

Arrington is a College Football Hall of Famer and a two-time First-Team All-American as a Nittany Lion from 1997-99. The linebacker was drafted No. 2 overall by the Washington Redskins in 2000.

Arrington wore the No. 11 while in Happy Valley, creating the now-famous look for top linebackers wearing the blue and white.

College GameDay will air in front of Old Main, running from 9 a.m. to noon. Penn State kicks off against No. 6 Oregon for the 2025 White Out at 7:30 p.m., and the game will be televised on NBC.
