Defensive backs X’Avion Brice and Jelani McDonald danced and BJ Allen Jr. posed as the team began to pull off a big win over the Crimson Tide. Running back Quintrevion Wisner was also with his teammates and appeared to have heard the shouting from the stands.
The video showed a fan calling the pieces “f—ing f—-ts” and telling them to “go back to the projects.”

Wisner’s mother reacted to the video on X.
“The fact that my son was down there and they told him to go back to the projects really makes me sad that he had to listen to that as his mother, no matter how old he is!” she wrote. “I love you, son! But the parents did this all night long! Beer cans, water bottles, spit! A shame.”
