Former Utah Utes star and Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid is the official guest picker for College GameDay on Saturday ahead of a top-25 Big 12 matchup between No. 10 Utah and No. 14 Houston in Salt Lake City.
Kincaid is back in town as his alma mater hosts Houston in one of the biggest games of the weekend, and certainly one of the biggest tests yet for Morgan Scalley‘s program. Scalley served as defensive coordinator under former coach Kyle Whittingham during Kincaid’s three seasons as a Ute from 2020 to 2022. The Buffalo Bills drafted with the 25th overall pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Kincaid is a big name from the final days of Utah’s time in the now-reshaped Pac-12 Conference. The former All-Pac-12 First Team selection led the team in receptions (70) for 890 yards and eight touchdowns in 2022.
The only tight end taken in the 2023 NFL Draft class, Kincaid is now four years deep in his Buffalo career with 1,969 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns recorded in his time with the Bills. Returning to his hometown of Las Vegas last weekend against the Raiders, Kincaid exited the second half with a rib injury; Buffalo is on a bye this week and returns to action next Sunday, Nov. 1, hosting the Baltimore Ravens.
This weekend, though, he’ll be the star of GameDay’s guest picker segment, with the former Ute likely to pull for his former team in a must-have Big 12 win on Saturday vs. Houston. Utah is currently a 6.5-point favorite to protect its home field in another 8:15 p.m. kickoff at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
