Stumble It!I did. When I got chosen I was thrilled like any girl would be. Sports Illustrated is huge, so when I found out about it I was really excited". Jessica tells News Three the opportunity came about by chance. In addition to her being a student at Auburn University, Trainham also moonlights as a cheerleader for the Atlanta Falcons. Someone from Sports Illustrated saw her picture and chose her and eleven other NFL cheerleaders and put them in the magazine. "She told us they went on the website and randomly selected the girls they were looking for. And it was an honor to know that I had the look they were looking for" Jessica said.
Trainham grew up in Phenix City and went to Central High School. She tells News Three her recent fame and success has not gone to her head. She says she is proud to be from Phenix City where her family and friends keep her grounded. "Its cool seeing people know who I am, but as far as staying grounded I'll always be that way thats just the type of person I am. I'm excited about this opportunity, but I think its more important to know where I came from and stay that way". In addition to posing in Sports Illustrated, Jessica has been featured in several other publications including: The Atlanta Sports and Fitness Magazine. After she graduates in May from Auburn, Trainham wants to intern at a Television station in Tampa Florida. Her goal is to become a TV News Reporter.
