Claire Wolford, a beloved Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, recently sent her fans into a frenzy with a jaw-dropping Instagram post that showcased her incredible flexibility. In the viral photo, the Lincoln, Nebraska native amazed her followers by perfectly holding one leg straight up in the air without using her hands.

The picture quickly amassed thousands of likes and comments, solidifying her status as a social media star. Wolford has been a prominent figure on and off the field since joining the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in 2020. Her captivating performances and engaging social media presence have garnered her a massive fan base.

Over the past three seasons, she has been part of the cheer squad during some of the team’s most successful years, with the Cowboys securing 12 victories each season and making playoff appearances. Despite their efforts, the team and its cheerleaders have not advanced past the second round, including last year’s disappointing loss to the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round.

Known for her love of strength training, pilates, dancing, and yoga, Wolford’s dedication to fitness is evident in her impressive performances. Wolford’s favorite Dallas Cowboys player is Leighton Vander Esch, and she has a particular fondness for Mexican food and all things sweet.

She found inspiration in family and friends

Reflecting on her inspiration, she credits her friends and family for motivating her daily, stating, “I am blessed with friends and family who inspire me every day! I have the most incredible people around me who encourage me to work hard, be a better version of myself, and live for a greater purpose.”

As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for the 2024 NFL season, they will undoubtedly miss the presence of the talented and charismatic Claire Wolford on the sidelines. Her legacy as a cheerleader and social media star will continue to inspire fans and aspiring cheerleaders alike.
