Alabama player posts video trolling Florida ahead of SEC Championship Game

Alabama has arrived in Atlanta ahead of Saturday’s SEC Championship Game against Florida. The high-powered Tide are sure to be a confident group as they look to knock off Florida and claim a spot in the College Football Playoff.

It’s a building the Crimson Tide know very well during its short existence. It’s their 2nd SEC Championship played at the stadium, which also served as the site of their infamous CFP National Championship win over Georgia in 2018. Alabama also played in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game here in 2017 and 2019. All told, Nick Saban’s squad has never lost in the venue since it opened.

During a walk through the stadium, one member of the team decided to do a little dance on the Florida logo painted on the Mercedes-Benz Stadium playing surface. Take a look at the video, posted by offensive lineman Deonte Brown with an interesting caption:

We’ll see what kind of motivation this provides for the Gators, because rest assured this video will be shared among the Florida team and staff in short order. Saturday’s game is set for 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
