ESPN has officially revealed the College GameDay guest picker for Knoxville this weekend.
As announced by College GameDay on Twitter on Friday afternoon, WWE RAW Women’s Champion and former University of Tennessee All-American track athlete Bianca Belair will be the guest picker for Saturday morning’s show.
Belair Belair, whose real name is Bianca Crawford, is a Knoxville, Tennessee native. Bianca graduated from Austin-East High School and was a star athlete in the making. Belair eventually moved onto collegiate track at the University of South Carolina and Texas A&M but wound up back in Knoxville to complete her degree and college career.

“Hey, it’s Bianca Belair here and I have some cool and exciting news that I just cannot wait to share with yall,” Belair said in a clip posted to Twitter. “So I’m going to drop it right here, right now. I am the College GameDay guest picker tomorrow so make sure you tune into ESPN around 11:30 a.m. eastern time to see me make my pick. It’s for the big game, Tennessee vs Florida.”
“I’m so excited to be back in my hometown, Knoxville, Tennessee,” Belair said. “It’s also my alma mater, I ran track at the University of Tennessee.
