Sydney Thomas shared that a SEC coach messaged her after her viral moment at the Tyson-Paul fight, sparking curiosity among fans.
On the “Like A Farmer Podcast,” the 21-year-old model and University of Alabama student talked about how she became an overnight sensation after the fight on November 15. She shared that the coach who messaged her is an Alabama fan and simply said, “Roll Tide.”
While she didn’t name the coach, she teased that he’s now an Alabama fan and left it up to everyone to guess who it might be. She kept the details under wraps, though.
Thomas also had some celebrities reach out, but she decided not to spill the beans on who they were. She laughed and said, “I don’t need any negative publicity right now.”
Her dream gig as a ring girl? She’d love to work at a fight featuring Conor McGregor against either Jake or Logan Paul.
Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, she’s taking online classes in Alabama to keep her schedule flexible for travel. After going viral, she celebrated hitting one million followers on TikTok, thanks to her role during Paul’s win over Tyson at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
This was actually her second time as a ring girl, having debuted with Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions in Puerto Rico back in October 2024. She got discovered by Paul’s company through social media, which is pretty cool!
