Star-studded cast to arrive in Ann Arbor for Michigan vs. Texas game

As if a matchup between two top-10 blue-blood teams wasn’t enough, a slew of celebrities, legendary athletes and analysts will descend on Ann Arbor on Saturday for one of the biggest college football games of the 2024 season. No. 10 Michigan hasn’t lost a game at Michigan Stadium since the 2020 season, but No. 3 Texas enters this matchup as a 6.5-point favorite. The game will certainly have huge implications for the future playoff picture, which is why it’s drawing such an impressive crowd.

Here are some of the people expected to attend:

Honorary Captain of the Michigan Football Team: Derek Jeter, MLB Hall of Fame inductee

Jeter is no stranger to Michigan or the city of Ann Arbor. In fact, the Hall of Famer grew up in Kalamazoo and received a scholarship to play baseball at the University of Michigan. Instead of playing college baseball, however, Jeter was drafted by the Yankees in 1992 and made his MLB debut in 1995. He spent his entire 20-year MLB career with the Yankees and became a five-time World Series champion. Jeter was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2020 and remains the Yankees’ all-time career leader in hits (3,465), doubles (544), games played (2,747), stolen bases (358), time on base (4,716), plate appearances (12,602) and bats in (11,195).

Star/Actor: Matthew Mcconnaughey

McConaughey was born and raised in Texas and earned a degree in film from the University of Texas. He has been seen at many Texas games over the years, even at practices and pregame speeches.
