No. 87 · 5th season

Jake Ferguson and Haley Cavinder got married, and a former teammate ran the whole thing

The Cowboys tight end and the college basketball star turned together at the altar, and the person holding the ceremony wasn't a stranger or a chaplain — it was Will Grier, Ferguson's former teammate.

Ferguson plays for the Dallas Cowboys, where he has built a reputation as one of the more reliable tight ends in the league. Haley Cavinder is one half of the Cavinder twins, a name anyone who follows college sports or social media knows well.

The wedding itself had a detail worth pausing on: Grier, a former quarterback who shared a locker room with Ferguson, stood up front and said the words that made it official. That's the kind of thing that only happens when the friendship is real.

For Ferguson, this is a life moment that lands well outside the stadium — a reminder that what players build off the field can matter just as much as anything on it. Two public figures, one quiet (enough) ceremony, one person who clearly meant something to both of them running the show.
