Who is Kaitlin Olson? ESPN announces Duck alum as guest picker Oregon vs. Ohio State

It's official, ESPN College GameDay is returning to Eugene, OR for the Ducks' matchup against the Ohio State Buckeyes. The top-three showdown between the Big Ten powerhouses is one of the biggest games of the year but who exactly is the celebrity guest picker that ESPN announced on Thursday?

In 1997, Olson graduated from Oregon with a bachelor's degree in theater arts but has continued her loyalty to the Ducks and their football team.

Since graduating from Oregon and leaving Eugene, Olson has set up her home base in Los Angeles and has established a successful acting career.
