When ESPN’s “College GameDay” panel makes its weekly prediction on Saturday from Norman, Oklahoma, ahead of the Sooners’ game against Tennessee, it will be doing so with a guest picker familiar with being in front of the camera.

“GameDay” announced on social media Thursday that singer Blake Shelton, an Oklahoma native, will join the popular college football pregame show.

Host Rece Davis will be joined at the desk by analysts Lee Corso, Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee and Nick Saban. College football insider Pete Thamel, college football betting analyst ‘Stanford Steve’ Coughlin and reporters Jen Lada and Jess Sims round out the “GameDay” cast.

Shelton was on NBC’s “The Voice” from 2011 to 2023, and, in nine of 23 seasons, has coached the winner.

He has been the recipient of 10 Country Music Association Awards, six Academy of Country Music Awards, CMT Artist of the Year award and 10 CMT Music Awards.
