The College Football Playoff final draws a crowd as diverse as it gets, from the President of the United States to adult film stars. Moreover, the 2025-26 final took place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, a hotspot for the wealthy.
Honestly, fans needed to have deep pockets to watch Indiana upset Miami to lift its first national title in school history. While the two teams played out a memorable game on the field, ESPN’s eagle-eyed cameramen spotted adult film star/actor Abella Danger amidst the crowd.
A few minutes after Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza produced a Heisman moment, Abella Danger appeared on the television screens across homes for a brief moment. It was the only time she was shown.
Insane: The cameraman found Abella Danger in the crowd…

When the camera cut back to the game, Miami quarterback Carson Beck set up freshman wide receiver Malachi Toney for a 22-yard jetsweep touchdown.

Toney’s touchdown cut Indiana’s lead to just three points. The Hoosiers added to their total in garbage time with a 35-yard field goal.

In the following drive, Beck threw an interception to end Miami’s dreams of winning another Natty. A short clip from Abella Danger reached BrickCenter (a parody account) after the final whistle. An emotional Abella found it tough to accept that her hometown team lost to CFP newcomers.
I hate this.

The game wrapped up with a 27-21 score, as Indiana claimed their first-ever CFP Championship and became only the second team since Yale in 1894 to finish the season unbeaten.
Danger wasn’t the only controversial figure present in the stands. Donald Trump came with an entire entourage to view his favorite pastime, besides golf and politics. Trump was seated inside the VIP viewing area. The crowd went wild when the Jumbotron flashed the USA President before kickoff.
Is Abella Danger a regular at Miami games?
This wasn’t a one-night affair. Abella Danger has been spotted attending Miami games for a while. According to TMZ, she was present in the stands when Miami defeated #6 Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl.
Yes, Abella Danger, the Miami Hurricanes No. 1 fan (not related to the quarterback and not a former player losing it on the sidelines) was in the building for the Fiesta Bowl win over Ole Miss. #GoCanes pic.twitter.com/ZqFHWlu5ja

Two weeks earlier, in late December 2025, she was spotted in College Station, Texas, as Miami narrowly defeated Texas A&M.

Carson Beck is set to retire from College football
Amid all the talk about the average age of Indiana’s players, Miami also has a seasoned veteran who stuck around well after graduating from college. Yes, Beck arrived at South Beach with a full-fledged degree in his backpack. That doesn’t mean he broke NCAA regulations.
Beck gained extra eligibility after redshirting his first year at Georgia, which coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic. The college football committee also granted an extra year of eligibility to players who missed playing time due to the pandemic.
I’ve been working towards other degrees now that I’ve gotten to Miami, but these programs take a little longer than just a year to finish. So obviously I’m not enrolling again next semester. I will be done after this season.
Carson Beck said (H/T: Heavy.com)
Sadly, his final pass in college ended up being an interception. In six years, he went 37-5 and won a couple of Nattys with the Bulldogs as backup to Stetson Bennett (now with the Los Angeles Rams).
