Georgia had an all-time vibes guy on their sideline for Saturday’s game.
Bulldogs offensive lineman Tate Ratledge went viral during his team’s showdown against Alabama for his outstanding mullet. Though Ratledge was not playing on Saturday due to an ankle injury, his aura was still felt from the sideline as the ABC cameras made sure to give him some airtime.
Check it out.

The senior Ratledge has been on Georgia since 2020 and also featured on both of their 2021 and 2022 national championship-winning teams. But having a helmet on tends to obscure the party in the back, so it appears Ratledge needed to be inactive in order to finally get his shine.
Georgia could have really used Ratledge out there as their offense was completely miserable in the first half, falling behind 30-7 as quarterback Carson Beck threw two interceptions. But at least for the rest of us, we got to enjoy the best sports mullet since this iconic submission from 2021.
