Sydney Thomas, the viral ring girl, discloses that an SEC football coach slid into her DMs as her fame grew.
The Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight catapulted Thomas into viral fame.
In late 2024, Sydney Thomas gained notoriety on social media as a ring girl during Jake Paul's bout against Mike Tyson.
As her popularity grew, Thomas encountered some oddness. In a recent podcast interview, she disclosed that an SEC college football coach had slid into her direct messages.
Another SEC football team coach sent her a direct message with the phrase "Roll Tide."
"I won't reveal the coach's name, but they are now an Alabama fan. Let others determine their identity."
The coach's identity remains a secret, as the University of Alabama student never disclosed it.
Since being seen at the Tyson-Paul fight in November, Thomas has amassed thousands of followers on social media. To conclude the year, she penned a "love letter" to 2024 and shared it on Instagram.
She wrote a love letter to 2024, expressing her hope for a year of love, growth, discovery, and change. As she looked forward to 2025, she reminded herself to count her blessings and hold her loved ones close.
"We are fortunate to be present today. Let us love deeply, hug fiercely, and cherish all that we have. Life is a precious gift, and its greatest treasures are priceless."
