Have you ever hung around fellow Wildcats at a party or a bar and someone starts running through the list of famous Arizona Wildcats, and all you can name is a couple of them? Well, my friend, those days are over!
How many famous Arizona Wildcats who are NOT athletes can you name?

There are plenty of notable and famous Wildcats who went to the University of Arizona. Actors, NASA Astronauts, governors, US representatives, senators, and a Pulitzer Prize Winner.
But the big question is, ‘Who will be the celebrity guest picker for the Arizona vs. UCLA football game this weekend?’ This burning question is on a lot of people’s minds, and they are talking about it in Arizona minded chat groups on Facebook. Some of the most notable celebrities chosen for previous games have been musicians such as Katy Perry and Brad Paisley.
ZonaZealots thought this was an excellent chance to review of few of our former Arizona Wildcat Alumni celebrities who could be chosen as a guest picker on this weekend’s ESPN GameDay show. By the way, the Celebrity has been decided and is locked in.

Note, we aren’t going into depth on any former athletes who are big time candidates for celebrity picker. Some top picks in the ‘former Wildcat athlete’ category who have been suggested are Steve Kerr, Bob Baffert, and Andre Igoudala. I would throw in Rob Gronkowski, because he is everywhere these days, and Luke Walton since he shows up at a lot of Wildcats games, both football, and basketball.
Also note, we have included one famous wildcat who may attend in spirit.
