Khris Franklin has been a part of the cheer industry for decades, from a young performer to a coach to a judge.

As much as he’s tried to step away, he couldn’t give up the sport for good because it’s brought him some of his closest friends and most memorable moments.

Because cheerleading is a passion in his heart, Khris has since admitted that he didn’t expect to stick with the sport for as long as he has.

It appears to be one of the few things that truly bring him joy.

According to our research, Khris left cheerleading in 2017, roughly six years into his tenure as Head Coach at Trinity Valley Community College (the Cardinals) in Athens, Texas. 

The permanent faculty title also means he doesn’t have to worry about financial or workload stability, as long as he can deliver.

Also, like Vontae, Khris cares about the athletes and creates a familial environment for their comfort.
