Los Angeles Rams' Terrance Ferguson Marries High School Sweetheart Before NFL Training Camp

Terrance Ferguson, a rookie tight end for the Los Angeles Rams, married his high school sweetheart, Sophia Ferguson (maiden name Meyer), this weekend at Spruce Mountain in Larkspur, Colorado. The ceremony was attended by family, friends, and former Oregon Ducks teammates, including notable athletes such as Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel (a close friend), Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Patrick Herbert, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jeffrey Bassa, and former Oregon quarterback Ty Thompson.

The wedding took place on a 450-acre ranch an hour outside of Denver, reflecting the couple's strong ties to Colorado; Ferguson attended Heritage High School in Littleton, while Sophia went to a nearby school. Ferguson proposed to Sophia in July of last year during a trip to Telluride in Western Colorado, presenting her with a ring from Happy Jewelers, an Orange County-based jeweler known for working with athletes and celebrities. In an Instagram post about the proposal, Ferguson quoted Bible verses (1 Corinthians 13:4-7) emphasizing love's virtues.

Dillon Gabriel shared enthusiastic praise for the wedding on Instagram, highlighting Ferguson's speeches and dance moves, and attended the rehearsal dinner the previous day with his partner, Zo Caswell. Photos from the event were shared by the bride, and Caswell's Instagram story showed the couples enjoying pool time in Denver ahead of the wedding.

Professionally, Ferguson was drafted by the Rams with the No. 46 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft but has not yet signed a contract, as he and other recent draft picks seek fully guaranteed deals following examples like Jayden Higgins and Carson Schwesinger. At Oregon, Ferguson was a key player in the 2024 undefeated season, recording 43 receptions for 591 yards and three touchdowns. He is expected to be the Rams' No. 2 tight end behind veteran Tyler Higbee, with potential for increased playing time due to Higbee's injury history.
