DeVonté Joseph

About

NCA All-Star cheerleader and holder of multiple world records in tumbling who captured the attention of millions after being featured on the second season of Netflix's original sport docuseries Cheer. On the multi-Emmy Award-winning series, he and the rest of the Trinity Valley Community College cheer squad famously claimed victory over rival Navarro College at the National Cheerleading Championship in Daytona Beach, FL. He has since grown a massive following on social media, and he regularly teaches clinics for aspiring tumblers across the country.

Before Fame

A natural athlete, he was initially intent upon securing a career in basketball. After realizing that his stature would hinder his advancement in the sport, however, he turned to tumbling and cheer at the suggestion of family members. He started to train in tumbling at Flip City South in Stockbridge, GA when he was just 12 years old. 

Trivia

The first tumbler to successfully achieve a "full quint," he has since become known for the signature move, which involves five full midair turns. It is so dangerous that it was banned from being performed at the Daytona championships. In addition to being an NCA All-Star, he is also a Collegiate, Majors, CheerSport, and World Champion cheerleader.

Family Life

He was originally inspired and encouraged to get into cheerleading by his older brother D'Anthony, a professional cheer coach, NCA & World Champion, and former cheerleader for Oklahoma State University.
