30 most passionate celebrity college football fans
By Brad Weiss
1. Will Ferrell – USC Trojans
When it comes to funnymen in Hollywood, there are few celebrities that can match Will Ferrell. Ever since taking over scenes during his time on Saturday Night Live, Ferrell has made hit after hit, establishing himself as one of the best comedic talents in the acting business. Through it all, he has become quite the fan of the USC Trojans, and he takes the No. 1 spot on our list.
There are numerous reasons why he is the top dog on our list. With no disrespect to Snoop Dogg, Ferrell gets the nod here, though Snoop is an incredible fan in his own right. Not only has Ferrell done a lot to become the celebrity face of the Trojans, he has also been involved with the entire university, which includes delivering commencement speeches.
During his commencement speech this year, Ferrell not only gave the student body a motivational, yet funny talk. He also told them a message in song, singing Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.” However, it is his love for the football program that is on display nearly every Saturday, and that includes before the game even kicks off.

Ferrell once led the team onto the field before their 2015 matchup against Stanford. The only problem was, Ferrell was nearly run over, though he did avoid a mishap. Ferrell, who was a kicker on his high school football team, has also worked with former head coach Pete Carroll during previous football seasons, performing stunts and pranks on the players. He is truly the definition of a celebrity college football fan.
