In the roar of Sanford Stadium, where the Georgia Bulldogs steamrolled Texas 35-10 on Saturday, one fan’s fleeting moment on camera turned into an overnight sensation across social media.
Harley, a freshman at the University of Georgia known on TikTok as @harlyisbae, was captured by ESPN cameras waving a red pom-pom and cheering wildly during the Bulldogs’ decisive fourth-quarter surge. The brunette’s infectious energy — decked out in Georgia gear that left little to the imagination — lit up screens nationwide, amassing nearly 4 million views on X by Monday afternoon. What started as a quick crowd shot amid Georgia’s 21 unanswered points in the final frame quickly spiraled into a full-blown viral storm.
The No. 5 Bulldogs (9-1, 7-1 SEC) put on a clinic against the Longhorns, outscoring them 21-0 after halftime to bolster their College Football Playoff resume. Quarterback Gunner Stockton orchestrated the rout, but it was Harley’s unfiltered joy that stole the broadcast’s sidebar spotlight. As the camera panned to fans reacting to a potential field goal setup late in the game, her head-shaking enthusiasm and revealing outfit drew immediate buzz.
Social media sleuths wasted no time unmasking the mystery cheerleader. A screengrab posted by X user @Jacoby_27 rocketed through timelines, prompting The Spun to link it to Harley’s TikTok profile. Her follower count surged by thousands overnight, with clips from the game racking up likes, shares and cheeky captions. “You broke Twitter and I’m not complaining,” one user quipped, while another declared, “ESPN … thank you.” @Jacoby_27 summed up the conversion: “Just became a Georgia Bulldog fan.”
Harley, who recently posted dorm-room videos decked in Bulldogs apparel, leaned into the hype with her own pregame TikTok: a hype video captioned “GO DAWGS BEAT TEXAS.” It’s a classic tale in the age of instant fame — a college kid’s game-day vibe colliding with national TV, turning Sanford’s hedges into a personal catwalk.

For Georgia coach Kirby Smart, the focus stayed on the field: “It’s the approach we take. We’re going to dominate and try to win the fourth quarter.” But as the Bulldogs eye a potential SEC title rematch and playoff push, Harley’s moment serves as a reminder: In college football, the stands can be just as electric as the scoreboard.
One fan encapsulated the frenzy: “If you need me, I’ll be in Georgia, in between her hedges.” For now, Harley’s pom-pom wave stands as the unofficial MVP of Georgia’s statement win — proof that even in a blowout, the real showstoppers hide in plain sight.
