Sydney Thomas claims a well-known CFB coach slid into her DMs

Sydney Thomas, the ring girl who gained viral fame during the Jake Paul–Mike Tyson fight on Netflix, claimed that a well-known college football coach slid into her DMs.

On the Like A Farmer podcast on Sunday, the University of Alabama student was asked about “the biggest celebrity” to contact her since the November 2024 boxing match. While she declined to name names, Thomas shared the “craziest DM” she has received.

“It was from another SEC football team coach,” Thomas said [H/t US Weekly]. “They just DM’d me ‘Roll Tide.’”

The phrase “Roll Tide” is a nod to the school’s nickname, the Crimson Tide.

Thomas added a bit more mystery:

“I’m not going to say what coach it was, but they’re an Alabama fan now at least. We’ll let everyone else figure out who it was.”

“My DMs are just insanely flooded right now,” she said. “There’s definitely been some pretty big names and brands that have reached out.”

Thomas’ newfound fame continues to attract headlines, with many wondering who the mystery coach might be.
