Ava Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, has settled into her freshman-year dorm at Southern Methodist University, with her mom sharing photos of the 18-year-old’s new room.

“Today, I left a piece of my heart at SMU. Ava Hunt, you’ve always been a mix of sunshine and hurricane – fierce, fearless and capable of incredible things,” Tavia Hunt wrote about her daughter on social media. “I’m overflowing with excitement for you, even as I tuck away my tears for later. I’m wading through emotions as I pass by your now too-clean room, the house is too quiet without your laughter, and Chief and I are already missing the familiar scent of your Sol de Janeiro body spray.”

The heartfelt message accompanied images of Ava standing in her room, decked out in pink and featuring a neon “Ava Elizabeth” sign over her bed.

“I know you’ll return often, and that this marks a new adventure and freedom for both of us… yet, I whisper earnest prayers for your safety, wisdom and for a tribe of new sisters who love Jesus and love you,” Tavia continued. “May God bless you and watch over you – He has never failed me, nor will He fail you.”

Ava committed to the SMU cheer team in March. In June, she joined her parents and older sister, Gracie Hunt, at the White House, where the Chiefs were honored by President Joe Biden.

Gracie has also been making a name for herself on social media, sharing a revealing bikini shot last week.
