Summary

Bryson Kennedy, a highly-touted high school quarterback, has been ruled ineligible to play football at Duncanville High School in Texas due to unintentionally incriminating comments he made on a podcast. The University Interscholastic League (UIL) determined that his transfer from Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas was for athletic purposes, which is a violation of transfer rules. Kennedy had received scholarship offers from several top colleges and was expected to compete for the starting job at Duncanville.
