Two weeks before classes start, Texas high school football powerhouse Duncanville has received a blue chip transfer.

Trenton Yancey, a fast-rising class of 2027 prospect with more than 30 offers, is transferring to national power Duncanville, he announced on Thursday.

Florida, Oklahoma, Michigan, Tennessee, Oregon and USC are among the schools who have already offered the 6-foot, 175-pound pass-catcher.

In Yancey, the two-time defending 6A Division I state champion Panthers gain another option out wide — a unit that already includes Oregon commit Dakorien Moore, the nation's top-rated receiver.

Yancey played his freshman season at Arlington Lamar, where he caught for 814 yards and five touchdowns, rushed for 206 more and was named 6A District 8 Newcomer of the Year.

Lamar went 4-6 in 2023 and finished fifth (3-3) in 6A District 8.

He'll have one of the state's surest arms as as his delivery system in 4-star Alabama commit Keelon Russell, a third-year starter.

He's one of seven offensive starters returning for the Panthers and finished with 3,483 yards and 38 TDs on a 72 percent completion rate as a junior.

The first day of school is Aug. 13 in Duncanville ISD and while the UIL games don't officially start until Aug. 29, Duncanville's first game is a week later — Sept. 6 — against South Oak Cliff.
