La'Darius Marshall (born May 9, 1998) is an American cheerleader and television personality. He received national recognition after appearing in the Netflix docuseries Cheer.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Marshall is originally from Fort Walton Beach, Florida. He attended Navarro College in Corsicana, Texas, where he was member of the cheer team coached by Monica Aldama.[7] Prior to starring on the series Cheer, a video of him cheering on his teammates at a sporting event went viral.[8][9][10][11] Marshall's mother suffered from addiction and was imprisoned during his childhood. He also struggled to be accepted by his brothers after coming out to them as gay and experienced sexual abuse.[12][13][14] In January 2020, he appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, along with other members of the team.[15][16][17][18]
In April 2023, Marshall was suspended by USA Cheer and the U.S. All Star Federation (USASF), two of cheerleading's governing bodies, and is "listed as temporarily ineligible pending an investigation."[19]
