It appears that the cavalcade of stars appearing in Ann Arbor for the Michigan football vs. Texas game is growing steadily.
It was revealed on Monday that the Wolverines will have New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter at the game as an honorary captain and that movie star Matthew McConaughey is on the list to attend. Michael Phelps was confirmed to be the celebrity guest picker for ESPN’s College GameDay and Fox will have Moneybagg Yo as the musical guest on Big Noon Kickoff.
But another film legend is set to appear on the ESPN flagship show.
College GameDay confirmed that Saturday Night Live alum and ‘Anchorman’ star Will Ferrell will be in Ann Arbor for the big game as part of the pregame show.
Thought we were done? 🥱

This game is starting to rival any Ohio State home game in terms of celebrity guests, and considering that both Big Noon Kickoff and College GameDay will be on campus, all of the luminaries involved with the big networks will also have their talent on hand for at least some of the game.
