According to foreign media including the New York Post on September 29, the person at the center of the story is Peyton Blomquist (18), a freshman at the University of Florida. Blomquist attended the game between the Florida Gators and the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) Rebels held in Gainesville, Florida, on September 26 (local time). An ESPN broadcast camera, while filming the stands, featured her on screen.
