"I'll see you there," Harlow said in a tweet announcing he was the first guest picker of the 2022 season.

Harlow, a Louisville, Kentucky native, is an award-winning rap artist who released a collaboration with Lil Nas X in "Industry Baby" in 2021, which was his first chart-topping single. Harlow released his second album "Come Home the Kids Miss You" in 2022.

Harlow is the second non-athlete to serve as a guest picker for College GameDay in Columbus, following Columbus natives Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun of the band Twenty One Pilots before the Michigan State game in 2021.
