The Cavinder twins, Haley and Hanna, have officially declared it's never too early for swimsuit season. The dynamic duo, who first captured the sports world's attention on the hardwood, just set social media ablaze with a scorching new preview of an upcoming photoshoot.
On March 3, the sisters shared a video that instantly had fans doing a double-take. Donning stylish swimwear and accessorized with cowgirl hats, they teased the project with the simple but effective caption: "excited for this shoot." The clip spread like wildfire across Instagram, proving their star power extends far beyond the basketball court.
From the Court to the Cover
This viral moment isn't Haley Cavinder's first major splash in the fashion world. She recently earned a coveted spot as one of six cover models for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's February digital edition, which spotlighted the "New era of NFL WAGs." She joined an impressive roster including Christen Goff, Claire Kittle, Ronika Love, Brittany Mahomes, and Normani.
For Haley, who is engaged to Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson, the opportunity was a dream come true. "I'm excited to work along with so many powerful women and successful women," Cavinder told the magazine. "I think Sports Illustrated [Swimsuit] is such a great community full of empowering women … and [to] be around such hardworking women is something that's really inspiring."
A Lasting Sports Legacy
Long before they were setting trends on social media, the Cavinder twins were lighting up scoreboards. The sports world was formally introduced to them during the 2019-20 college basketball season. Haley, a standout guard, carved an impressive career at Fresno State and later the University of Miami, where she was named Mountain West Conference Player of the Year and averaged 16.9 points and 7.0 rebounds per game over her collegiate tenure.
Her sister Hanna was a formidable force in her own right, contributing averages of 11.4 points and 3.4 assists per contest. Together, they formed one of the most recognizable tandems in women's college basketball, a popularity that has only grown since their playing days ended.
Their transition from athletes to full-fledged influencers and brand ambassadors has been seamless. They've masterfully leveraged their athletic fame, competitive spirit, and undeniable chemistry into a thriving digital empire, consistently engaging millions of followers with a mix of fitness content, lifestyle glimpses, and now, high-profile modeling work.
The twins' latest swimsuit tease has fans and industry watchers buzzing with speculation. Given Haley's successful foray with SI Swimsuit, many are wondering if this new shoot is a precursor to both sisters gracing the pages of the iconic publication's 2026 edition. It's a logical next step for the pair, whose brand is built on synergy and shared success.
One thing is certain: Haley and Hanna Cavinder are playing a different game now, and they're winning. They continue to redefine what it means to be sports personalities in the digital age, proving that their drive and appeal are as potent in front of the camera as they ever were on the court.
