The quarterback has since updated his X, formerly known as Twitter, account to show he’s now back at Little Rock Central, removing association with Duncanville on his profile.

“I’ve been quiet about everything, so know everyone was looking forward to Bryson being the starting QB for Duncanville, but it won’t happen due to Bryson being ineligible,” Anthony Kennedy said in the now-deleted Facebook post. “They wouldn’t allow me to appeal the decision, which was fine. I spent over $15,000 moving to Duncanville out of my own pocket; no one paid us, so we returned to our home school, Little Rock Central. Which we could have stayed and played at a private or charter school and be eligible right away, but overall, my family and are okay.”

Kennedy, who transferred from Little Rock (AR) Central to Duncanville (TX) in late February, is viewed by many as one of the top Class of 2029 quarterbacks, with the signal caller already fielding several Division I, Power 4 offers.

The rising sophomore signal caller currently has offers on the table from programs like Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Vanderbilt, Miami, and Mississippi State.

The Panthers went 12-2 last season and finished as the state’s No. 5 ranked team, according to the final Texas 2025 High School Football Massey Rankings.
