Gabrielle Union to serve as guest picker for ESPN ‘College GameDay’ at Nebraska

Actress Gabrielle Union is a huge Nebraska Cornhuskers football fan and will be acting in that capacity on Saturday.

Union, the wife of retired NBA star Dwyane Wade, will be the guest picker for ESPN on “College GameDay” live from Lincoln. Nebraska (3-1) hosts Ohio State (4-0) in a Big Ten matchup on Saturday.

Union grew up in Nebraska and has long been a fan of the school’s football team, which she has said is almost a requirement for living in the state. She’s taken Wade to games in the past, including Scott Frost’s coaching debut last season.

After dropping its second game of the season, Nebraska has rebounded with consecutive wins, including a comeback victory over Illinois last week.
