WATCH: Jermaine Burton allegedly strikes Tennessee fans following upset loss
During the chaos of Tennessee’s 52-49 win over Alabama which snapped a 15-year losing streak and prompted fans to storm the field to celebrate, videos appearing to show on-field interactions between fans and players have surfaced. Allegedly, Alabama wide receiver Jermaine Burton was part of at least two incidents where TMZ and the alleged victims claim to have been struck by him.
In the first video, which was posted on TikTok with the caption, “Jermaine Burton smacking me in the head while walking past him after their loss Saturday,” a player walks past the field-storming Tennessee fan with his arm stretched out. It is important to note that Alabama features two players who wear No. 3, but the blurry pictures do not appear to resemble defensive back Terrion Arnold.
In another alleged incident, a fan taking video from on the field runs past Burton – who is seen more clearly in front of the camera – before the camera turns and shakes momentarily. A fan later posted it with the caption, “Jermaine Burton punching a Tennessee fan after the ‘Bama loss.”
TMZ reached out to the University of Alabama and Knoxville police but had not heard back at the time of publishing.
