Viral TikTok video puts spotlight on University of Alabama's Walk of Champions

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (WBMA) — A TikTok video with more than 1 million views is putting the spotlight on the University of Alabama, specifically how a man says he was able to enter the stadium with the football team without being stopped by security along the way.

The video was posted over the weekend, but the timeline of events may have happened around 10 years ago, as some of the players in the pictures haven't been on the team since 2013. The university says they're skeptical.

The video shows one of the Brandt Brothers narrating a series of pictures from an Alabama football game.

They say a $15 ticket was purchased, and Rick Brandt was able to sneak in with the Alabama football team during the Walk of Champions.

After purchasing a crimson tuxedo and some Bama pins and lanyards, the narrator says his brother was able to blend in so well, the state troopers protecting the team began protecting him too.

ABC 33/40 showed the video to a number of people on campus to see what they thought about it.

"It is a concern somewhat. I like to think that most people at Alabama games are good people and not looking to cause any trouble, but I can see how there are some parents out there especially who may be worried," said Ian Martin, a student at the University of Alabama.

Drew Townsend and Sophia Morlen were shocked, considering what they have to go through as fans and students.

"We walk through metal detectors, you have to have a certain clear bag, there's a lot of security.... Three things for sure you get checked and have to prove your ticket to get into the stadium," said Morlen, continued by Townsend.

The man in the video didn't mention having to do any of that.

"I think he did it in a funny way, but that could have gone a lot worse. A lot worse could have happened if they don't check anyone who comes into the stadium," said Townsend.

ABC 33/40 asked the university about any potential safety concerns of copy cats with ill intentions, they offered a statement that says, "We are skeptical of the claims in this video, and we would not recommend anyone try anything like this".

ABC 33/40 also reached out to the brothers on social media, but didn't get a response.

According to their other videos, they've done this at colleges like Clemson, Georgia, Michigan, Oregon, and another Alabama game vs. FSU in Atlanta.
