The 6-foot-2, 200-pound senior goalkeeper led the Trojans to a 14-4 record and a second-straight Class 6A state championship this past season. Franklin conceded eight goals and recorded 10 shutouts in addition to being the winning keeper in shootouts in both the state quarterfinals and the state championship game. A Class 6A First Team All-State selection, he also contributed three assists through his distribution from the back.
Franklin has maintained a B average in the classroom. He has signed a national letter of intent to play soccer on scholarship at the University of Missouri-St. Louis this fall.
A member of his local DECA chapter, Franklin has volunteered locally with the Drug Free Youth Club and as a youth goalkeeping coach. He has also donated his time to multiple community service initiatives through his church.
