Becoming a member of the Dolphins cheer squad is intensely competitive. Each year, more than 400 women audition, with only about 32 to 36 ultimately joining the team. Even current squad members must re-audition annually, making the roster a continual challenge to maintain. Kylie publicly celebrated her achievement in an emotional post, signaling the start of a new chapter on the sidelines. In the post, she credited the Dolphins’ cheerleading directors for believing in her potential, highlighted the support of a close friend and fellow rookie, Amaya Crearer, and expressed gratitude to her broader support system. She framed this milestone as a faith-driven journey and a step aligned with her beliefs and personal goals.
Kylie’s path to the Dolphins came after she built a following during her time with Georgia’s Dance Dawg program, while her brother Carson served as a backup and eventual starter for the Bulldogs. When Carson left Athens to pursue his NFL dream, Kylie returned to Florida, reinforcing how tightly knit their family bond has been throughout their athletic journeys. Even before his transfer to Coral Gables, Kylie was a familiar presence around the Hurricanes program, attending key moments in college football as Carson advanced toward his professional ambitions.
Speculation about Kylie’s prospects with the Dolphins had circulated in the weeks leading up to the official roster announcement. Her social media activity, including clips from the Dolphins’ selection process, had already hinted at a positive outcome. The confirmation marked the start of Kylie’s NFL experience in Miami, while Carson began his own offseason routine away from the spotlight.
Carson Beck’s offseason focus has been on preparation and learning. He committed to a rigorous routine, spending long hours at the Cardinals’ facility to accelerate his transition to professional football. He emphasized that the mental side of the game—understanding timing, routes, and playbooks—was a critical part of the adjustment, alongside building chemistry with teammates and coaches. With veteran quarterbacks like Gardner Minshew and Jacoby Brissett in the quarterback room, the team is evaluating how Beck’s development fits into a long-term plan under first-year head coach Mike LaFleur. His workload this summer is seen as a telling indicator of his readiness and ceiling as a pro.
For Kylie, the season will be about contributing to a team on the field while continuing to grow as a professional performer off the field. For Carson, the focus remains on rapid learning and readiness to compete at the highest level, with the Cardinals aiming to develop a long-term quarterback solution.
Looking at the upcoming schedule, the two teams—Arizona and Miami—do not meet in the 2026 regular season, which means Kylie can cheer for her Dolphins from the sidelines without conflict and also support her brother’s journey in Arizona from afar. The siblings’ parallel paths illustrate how family ties can endure even as they pursue separate dreams in professional football and professional cheerleading.
