One of the more intriguing young quarterback prospects in the region is making a move to Texas. Class of 2028 quarterback Laykon Brassfield has officially transferred from Edmond North High School in Oklahoma to Lewisville High School, joining the Fighting Farmers program in the highly competitive Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex.


At 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, Brassfield already possesses the physical tools that college programs covet at the quarterback position. The rising prospect brings a versatile and dynamic skill set to Lewisville’s offense, highlighted by a quick release, impressive arm strength, and the ability to push the football to every level of the field. Whether working the intermediate passing game or attacking defenses vertically, Brassfield has shown the arm talent necessary to stretch defenses and create explosive plays.



Accuracy is another strong point of his game. Brassfield consistently delivers catchable, well-timed throws, allowing receivers to work in stride and maximize yards after the catch. His ability to read coverage and distribute the football efficiently makes him a quarterback capable of operating a modern spread offense.



Beyond his arm talent, Brassfield also offers valuable athleticism and mobility. He displays strong pocket presence, keeping his eyes downfield while navigating pressure. When plays break down, he has the agility and awareness to escape the pocket and extend plays, either finding open receivers or picking up yards with his legs. That dual-threat capability adds another dimension to Lewisville’s offensive attack.



The transfer comes at an important time for a Lewisville program that reached the playoffs last season and continues to compete in one of the deepest talent pools in Texas high school football. The Fighting Farmers have consistently produced high-level athletes, and the addition of Brassfield gives the offense another promising young playmaker under center.


Moving into the DFW high school football landscape will provide Brassfield with the opportunity to develop against some of the best competition in the country. Texas football is widely regarded as one of the premier proving grounds for quarterbacks, and performing in that environment could help accelerate his growth and national recruiting profile.


For Lewisville, the addition of Brassfield strengthens an already talented roster and adds long-term upside at the quarterback position. For the young signal caller, the move to Texas represents an opportunity to showcase his talent on one of the sport’s biggest stages as he continues his development in the Class of 2028 recruiting cycle.

DALLAS — SMU head football coach Rhett Lashlee announced Tuesday the addition of Kyle Ward to the Mustangs’ coaching staff. Ward joins the program as safeties coach.


Ward arrives on the Hilltop after an impressive tenure at South Oak Cliff High School, where he served as defensive coordinator since 2015. During that span, he established himself as one of the top defensive minds in Texas high school football.


“We are excited to welcome Coach Kyle Ward to our defensive staff,” Lashlee said. “He has been one of the top coaches in our state and the city of Dallas for years, winning multiple state championships as the defensive coordinator at South Oak Cliff. His football mind, ability to build relationships, and passion for recruiting and developing young men will help our program continue its upward trajectory.”


South Oak Cliff captured three Class 5A Division II state championships over the past five seasons, including back-to-back titles in 2021 and 2022. Most recently, the Golden Bears finished the 2025 season with a 15-1 record and another state championship. Under Ward’s leadership, the defense allowed just 10.1 points per game and recorded seven shutouts during district play.


Ward has also demonstrated a strong track record in player development, most notably coaching Ja’Marcus Ingram, who currently plays for the Houston Texans.

“I’m excited to join the staff at SMU and contribute to the momentum they’ve built in pursuit of greatness,” Ward said. “Coach Lashlee is one of the best in the business.”


Prior to his success at South Oak Cliff, Ward gained collegiate coaching experience as a graduate assistant and cornerbacks coach at Texas A&M, along with a graduate assistant role at Boise State. A Dallas native, Ward also played collegiately at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where he spent two seasons at cornerback and recorded 63 total tackles.
