Former Utah tight end Dalton Kincaid, now with the Buffalo Bills, will be the guest picker on ESPN's "College GameDay" on Saturday in Salt Lake City, the Deseret News reported. Kincaid announced the appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," where he joked about his own picking record and said he would try to top Steve Young, the former BYU quarterback who went perfect as guest picker last week in Provo.

The show begins at 7 a.m. MDT at Presidents Circle, and admission is free with no tickets required. Saturday's game is a night game, and Utah fans are encouraged to wear black. Kincaid will be on campus as No. 10 Utah plays No. 14 Houston. [1]

Utah coach Morgan Scalley will be live on the set, and ESPN will air two features on the Utes. One looks at defensive coordinator Colton Swan's interest in ranching and rodeos, and the other examines quarterbacks Devon Dampier and Byrd Ficklin and Utah's two-quarterback sets. [1]

Kincaid played at Utah after transferring from the University of San Diego and finished his Ute career with 107 receptions for 1,414 yards and 16 touchdowns. He helped Utah win back-to-back Pac-12 titles and caught 16 passes for 234 yards and a touchdown in a 43-42 win over USC. The Bills took him with the No. 25 pick in the 2023 NFL draft, and he has 315 yards and a touchdown this season. [1]
