Overview
- The Nashville-born country star, publicly linked to Tennessee and Vanderbilt rather than Georgia or Ole Miss, was confirmed as Saturday's celebrity guest picker.
- On the set at Sanford Stadium, Jelly Roll and the GameDay panel selected Georgia to beat Ole Miss, with Kirk Herbstreit abstaining due to his broadcast role.
- Jelly Roll addressed Nick Saban while picking Tennessee to upset Alabama, a call that contrasted with the rest of the panel's Alabama picks.
- During Pat McAfee’s kicking segment, Jelly Roll invited former Georgia kicker Rodrigo Blankenship to attempt the kick, leading to a successful try and $600,000 donated to charity.
- His appearance marks the seventh celebrity guest picker of the 2025 season, reflecting ESPN’s broadened strategy that has drawn criticism for favoring star power over direct school ties.
