The number one-ranked Texas Longhorns face the number five-ranked Georgia Bulldogs in the biggest game of the week. This is one of the hottest tickets in college football, and a whole host of A-List celebrities have made their way to Austin to witness the big game.

Here is a look at some of these people.

5 A-list celebrities in attendance to watch Texas vs Georgia

1. Glenn Powell

Glenn Powell is a famous actor, mostly known for his role in Top Gun Maverick. Powell is a self-declared "massive Texas Longhorns fan." He studied at the University of Texas and recently moved back to Austin from Los Angeles.

Powell was the celebrity guest picker when College Game Day made its last trip to Austin in 2022.

He was seen before the Georgia game wearing a cowboy hat and a burnt orange jacket, something that went down well on social media.

2. Matthew McConaughey

It would not be a Texas Longhorns game without an appearance by Matthew McConaughey.

The famous actor is always seen at Longhorns games. McConaughey attended the University of Texas, getting his film degree, and the connection between the actor and the football team has never stopped.

Like Powell, McConaughey wore a brown leather jacket on top of a plain white shirt and cowboy hat as he pumped up the Longhorns crowd.

3. Adrian Grenier

Grenier is another famous actor who is attending the game in Austin. He is mostly known for his portrayal of Vincent Chase in the hit TV show "Entourage."

Grenier does not have any direct connections with the University of Texas, but a lot of his recent work has been set in the city of Austin.

A video popped up of Grenier mingling with some people on the field during pre-game. Grenier wore a blue long-sleeve shirt and a gray undershirt and had burnt orange shades.

4. Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan hosts the very successful "Joe Rogan Experience" podcast and is also a commentator for the UFC.

In 2020, Rogan moved to the Austin area, where he continues to live to this day.

The Longhorns' X account posted a photo of Rogan, who was wearing a white long-sleeve sweatshirt, interacting with Texas coach Steve Sarkisian on the field before the game.

5. Drew Brees

Drew Brees was one of the best quarterbacks in the last 20 years in the NFL. He spent most of his 20-year career with the New Orleans Saints, where he would win them a Super Bowl.

Brees played college football with the Purdue Boilermakers but was born and played high school football in the Austin area.

BONUS: Ben Herbstreit

While not a human, Kirk Herbstreit's dog Ben is a favorite among fans of College Game Day. BBm was seen before the game walking on the field at the DKR Stadium to the cheers of the Longhorns fans.

He even had a supervised meeting with Bevo, the Longhorns' live mascot.
