As the NFL season approaches, Ava Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, is making headlines not just for her famous family ties but for her own exciting new role as a cheerleader at Southern Methodist University (SMU). The young heiress is stepping into the spotlight in a different way this year, trading in the stands for the sidelines as she gears up to cheer for the SMU Mustangs.
Ava recently debuted her new cheerleader look, complete with SMU gear and pom-poms, much to the delight of her family and fans. Her mother, Tavia Hunt, proudly shared the moment on Instagram, showcasing her daughter’s new journey with a heartfelt post. Tavia’s post also included a glimpse of Ava’s stylishly decorated dorm room, further highlighting the family’s excitement as Ava embarks on this new adventure.
“A Labor of love! Special weekend cheering on our favorite SMU Ponies! So happy college sports are back and the NFL season is days away!” Tavia captioned her post, expressing her pride and joy. The post also featured Ava’s brother, Knobel Hunt, who is making his own mark at SMU as a member of the soccer team.
The Hunt family’s enthusiasm was infectious, and fans quickly flooded the comments with congratulatory messages for Ava. Among those cheering her on was her sister, Gracie Hunt, who is also no stranger to the limelight and often shares in her family’s high-profile events.
Interestingly, Ava couldn’t contain her excitement and took to social media before her mother’s post, giving her followers a sneak peek of her cheerleader debut. The 18-year-old posted two photos: one where she proudly stands solo in her SMU cheer gear and another featuring her with a group of fellow cheerleaders. “T-24hrs to kickoff!! So thankful to be part of this team!!” she captioned her post, expressing her excitement just hours before SMU’s football game.
Ava’s energy and enthusiasm seemed to carry over to the field, as SMU went on to dominate the Houston Christian Huskies with a commanding 59-7 victory. It’s clear that Ava is not just embracing her new role but also bringing her own winning spirit to the team.
As the NFL season kicks off and the Hunts remain deeply connected to the sports world, Ava’s journey as an SMU cheerleader adds a new chapter to the family’s storied legacy.
Fans will undoubtedly be watching as she continues to shine, both on the sidelines and beyond.
