PREGAME READING

The talent on the North Texas power's roster is almost endless. Quarterback Keelon Russell is a 5-star Alabama commit and wideout Dakorien Moore, an Oregon commit, is also a 5-star and the nation's No. 1 rated receiver in 2025. Zachery Turner is an uncommitted four-star tight end, Ayson Theus is a three-star receiver and one of the nation's top sprinters on the track.

Duncanville, the top-ranked team in Texas, has climbed the national rankings steadily throughout the season and moved all the way up to No. 2 this week after top-ranked Mater Dei (Calif.) dismantled No. 2 St. John Bosco (Calif.). The Panthers, an established national powerhouse, are no stranger to the throne.

Last week, Russell threw four first half touchdowns en route to a blowout of Mesquite Horn.

The Panthers are well-represented on High School on SI's North Texas high school football player of the year watch list. Dive into the full list here.
