Sophie Scott, the former University of Alabama student and one-time girlfriend of NFL quarterback Mac Jones, turned up the heat on social media this weekend with a swimsuit photo that quickly went viral.
Scott, who dated Jones during his college days with the Crimson Tide, shared a snapshot from a sun-drenched pool day in Positano, Italy. The caption read simply: “Positano pool day 🧜♀️.” The post didn’t take long to catch fire, with fans flooding the comments section to praise the photo and toss in a few playful jabs at her famous ex.
“Mac fumbled the bag,” one commenter wrote, summing up the sentiment of many. Others chimed in with supportive messages like “Perfect girl in a perfect place 😍 🙌 enjoy!!!” and “Cutieeeeee,” while plenty of fire emojis rounded out the reaction.
The buzz comes as Jones continues his NFL journey with the San Francisco 49ers. The former first-round pick is set to suit up against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon, with kickoff slated for 4:05 p.m. ET. While Jones focuses on the gridiron, his ex is clearly enjoying a glamorous European escape — and the internet is eating it up.
This isn’t the first time a former partner of a high-profile athlete has stolen the spotlight with a viral swimsuit moment. Just recently, a USC cheerleader’s tiny swimsuit photo sent shockwaves across social media, and similar stirs have been caused by a Gators cheerleader’s bikini pic after a big win. It seems fans can’t get enough of these sun-soaked snapshots.
Scott’s Italian getaway is the latest example of how a single post can turn into a full-blown trending topic. With her Alabama roots and connection to Jones, she’s no stranger to attention — but this weekend, she’s the one commanding the spotlight.
Meanwhile, Jones and the 49ers are gearing up for a crucial NFC West showdown. The quarterback, who was drafted by the New England Patriots in 2021 before landing in San Francisco, will look to keep his team on track against a division rival. But for now, the off-field chatter belongs to Scott and her Positano pool day.
As the NFL season rolls on, it’s clear that the personal lives of players — and their exes — will continue to generate plenty of buzz. Whether it’s a viral photo or a game-day performance, the sports world never stops talking.
