Alabama is investigating after a video on social media appeared to show wide receiver Jermaine Burton striking a female fan who rushed the field following Tennessee's 52-49 win over the Crimson Tide on Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
"We are aware of the situation with Jermaine Burton as he was exiting the field Saturday," Alabama coach Nick Saban said a statement Wednesday. "We are currently working to gather more information."
Emily Isaacs posted the video on her TikTok account and commented: "Jermaine Burton smacking me in the head while walking past him after their loss Saturday," with a thumbs-up emoji and an #ouch hashtag.
