A Univ of Alabama graduate is the host of YOUR ESPN College Game Day.
And to be fair, he may well be the most even handed sports journalist ESPN has ever had. And an all-around super guy. Family is great (the girl in the picture is his younger sister. His son plays baseball for Princeton. Has a daughter who is into the arts.)

Shout out to Mississippi State alum, General Troy Middleton, WW II general, famous for his leadership in the Battle of the Bulge, and later President of LSU, where he had served in the administration prior to being recalled to service in the war. The LSU library is named for him.

Undergrad ETSU - Kenny Chesney...plays crappy music and likes men
Grad UT - Ali Abu Al-Ragheb - was Prime Minister of Jordan
Also UT - Scott Kelly - astronaut who set record for time in space (520d 10h 33m) by a US astronaut.
Since I have 2 grad degrees from UT, I felt obligated to include 2 famous alumni...
