Jake Ferguson continues to shine both on and off the field for the Dallas Cowboys. The tight end has been one of the team’s most dependable offensive weapons this season, building on his last two seasons.
His consistency and impact earned him another moment of recognition, this time for his efforts beyond football. Ferguson was recently nominated for the NFL’s prestigious Salute to Service Award, honoring players who go above and beyond to support military members, veterans, and their families.
Joining him in celebration was his fiancée, Haley Cavinder. The former college basketball star and influencer has been one of Ferguson’s most vocal supporters. She regularly attends Cowboys games and shares behind-the-scenes moments of their life together.
When the Cowboys announced Ferguson’s nomination on social media, Cavinder reposted it on her Instagram story with a short, heartfelt four-word message showing how proud she was of him.
“So proud of you!!” Cavinder wrote.
Ferguson’s nomination highlights his continued involvement with military communities through team-led initiatives and personal outreach. The Salute to Service Award, presented by USAA, is one of the NFL’s most respected honors.
Past winners include George Kittle, Joe Cardona, and Ron Rivera, each recognized for their contributions to service members. Ferguson’s inclusion adds another layer to his growing reputation as both an athlete and a leader.
Haley Cavinder on Her Relationship with Jake Ferguson
Haley Cavinder has been open about the challenges of living in the public eye. As a well-known figure on social media, she’s no stranger to online criticism. Early in her relationship with Ferguson, the constant spotlight and comments took a toll on her confidence.
She admitted that being scrutinized alongside her partner was new and overwhelming at times, even leading to a brief emotional breakdown. During a Q&A session on “The Cavinder Twins” YouTube channel in January 2024, she opened up about her struggles.
“I’m a confident girl. But when people are saying stuff about you, like, if you have a boyfriend and someone is talking about you online with your boyfriend and it goes roles reversed, like, coming at your features, I’m like, ‘Dude, this is new.’ Obviously, Jake is a great guy, but you don’t wanna be called ugly on the internet 24/7, and your boyfriend sees it,” she said.
However, Ferguson’s openness and pride in their relationship helped shift her perspective. His willingness to share their story publicly encouraged Cavinder to embrace it as well. Over time, she became more confident about showing her relationship online, focusing on positivity instead of negativity.
