Most people love cheerleaders. Maybe for different reasons, but I'm fond of them for sure. Now, one of Texas Tech's Pom Squad members is trying out for the greatest cheerleading team ever, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

Rachel Alexander is a Red Raider originally from Plano, who is trying out to be on the most famous cheerleading squads ever, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

Alexander has also been involved in local cheer and gymnastics as an instructor at a local gym. It would be cool to see a Texas Tech lady in the silver and blue.

Follow the tryouts at the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader Facebook page to keep updated on her progress.
