Who Is Emily Isaacs?
Emily Isaacs shared a TikTok video in which Burton appears to hit her in the head as he walks off the field. The woman in the video, whom Isaacs claims to be her, was seen holding her head after appearing to be struck by Burton and turning around to look at him as he exited the end zone and into the locker room tunnel.
“Jermaine Burton smacking me in the head while walking past him after their loss Saturday,” Isaacs wrote in a caption of the video on TikTok, which was published Tuesday.
Isaacs confirmed her identity to OutKick, a FOX affiliate, but declined to comment on the alleged incident.

Emily Isaacs Posted The Video On Her TikTok
“We are aware of the situation with Jermaine Burton as he was exiting the field Saturday,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said in 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.
Tennessee’s victory over Alabama was its first since 2006 and its first over a Saban-coached Crimson Tide team, sparking a wild celebration in Knoxville. The goalposts were ripped down within minutes after fans stormed the field.
The SEC fined Tennessee $100,000 for its second violation of the league’s field access policy. A $250,000 fine would be imposed for a third offence.

“This is why we have these rules,” an SEC official told ESPN on Wednesday. “It was a great scene, but it’s also a recipe for disaster when you have emotional players walking off the field and fans running around by them and celebrating.”
Before getting involved in these cases, the SEC usually lets the school involved investigate and hand out potential punishment.
Alabama has grown accustomed to opposing fans storming the field following road losses. In fact, the last time Alabama lost a road game without fans rushing the field was 12 years ago, when the Tide lost 24-21 at LSU.
A year ago, after Alabama’s 41-38 loss to Texas A&M at Kyle Field, fans rushed the field, and as Saban’s police escorts tried to get him off the field, a female fan got in the way and was knocked to the ground by one of the officers. Saban almost tripped and then fell.

Investigating Allegations
DailyMail.com has reached out to the University of Alabama and Jermaine Burton for comment but has yet to receive a response. So far, Isaacs has refused to comment on the incident, but she has confirmed her identity to Outkick. Another Tennessee fan was also subjected to Burton’s wrath and was taken aback by the collegiate athlete’s actions.
‘Oh my God! Oh my God!,’ said the fan, known as JoJo, in his TikTok video.
Much like Isaacs, he was navigating his way through a crowd of orange – Tennesee’s colors – before Burton seemed to have smacked him with his right hand.
It’s unclear if he was hit before or after Isaacs.
‘I was told he smacked a girl in the head after too,’ he previously said of the incident, according to the New York Post.
The Volunteer, a Tennessee fan account on Twitter, condemned the player for making ‘purposeful contact to the head of a female
Tennessee fan.’
‘Completely unnecessary behavior by Burton,’ its tweet read.
