The Texas Longhorns and Georgia Bulldogs will face off in the SEC Championship in Atlanta on Saturday, with ESPN’s College GameDay in tow.

On Thursday, ESPN announced its choice for the show’s guest picker, making an interesting choice.

According to the announcement, film star Timothée Chalamet will join Kirk Herbstreit, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban, Desmond Howard and Reese Davis on Saturday.

Chalamet is best known for his role in the Dune film series, which grossed a combined $1.139 billion at the box office between the two films.

He is also known for roles in films such as Interstellar, Hostiles, Beautiful Boy, Don’t Look Up and Wonka. Chalamet will be playing the role of Bob Dylan in his next film titled A Complete Unknown.

It is unclear what connection Chalamet has to Georgia or Texas at this point, as he was born in New York and attended both Columbia University and New York University.

This will be the second matchup of the season between the Bulldogs and Longhorns, as well as the second College GameDay appearance for the matchup. At the first showdown in Austin, actor and Texas fan Glenn Powell was the guest picker.

The Longhorns went on to lose that game 30-15 to the Bulldogs, which ended up being their only mistake of the season.
