When ESPN "College GameDay" host Rece Davis was asked about comedian Theo Von being selected as the show's guest picker on the University of Alabama 's campus ahead of Alabama football vs. Vanderbilt , Davis immediately responded with questions of his own.
"Have you checked out his social media following?" Davis asked. "Do you know how many people follow him?"
Von, who has more than 8.5 million followers on Instagram, also has a reputation of being a fan of Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia. He's been seen at Commodores practices. He's been at the center of a social media storyline about Pavia's mother. He's been called a "friend" of Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea and members of the Commodores program.
