NFL Legend Aaron Donald Joins ESPN's College GameDay in Pittsburgh
14 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Aaron Donald, NFL legend, to be celebrity guest picker on ESPN's College GameDay
- Pitt and No. 9 Notre Dame to face off in Pittsburgh
- Pitt riding 5-game winning streak after 2-2 start
On November 14, 2025, NFL legend and Pittsburgh alum Aaron Donald is set to join ESPN's College GameDay as the celebrity guest picker when the show visits the Steel City this weekend. Donald, who starred for the Panthers 15 years ago, has gone on to become a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year with the Los Angeles Rams.
The visit comes as the Pittsburgh Panthers are riding a five-game winning streak after a 2-2 start to the season. They'll look to keep their postseason hopes alive and potentially play the role of spoiler against the No. 9 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Both teams enter the matchup with two losses, leaving little margin for error in the College Football Playoff race.
As an FBS independent, Notre Dame has more to lose in this high-stakes showdown. The Panthers, on the other hand, can't rely on a conference record to bolster their playoff resume. Kickoff from Acrisure Stadium is set for Noon ET on ABC.
