Lewisville quarterback Laykon Brassfield (10) celebrates after Lewisville beats Flower Mound Marcus on Sept. 25.
Ahead of a showdown with Flower Mound set for Oct. 23, Lewisville quarterback Laykon Brassfield won his appeal with the UIL.
In Austin, UIL officials met Oct. 22, dealing with four eligibility appeals, and the Fighting Farmers learned they can play the Edmond North transfer again.
The Oklahoma transfer led the Farmers to a 3-0 start to the season, before the District 5-6A District Executive Committee ruled him ineligible over residency concerns on Sept. 25.
The DEC voted 5-2 that Brassfield not move for athletic purposes, but voted 7-0 that Brassfield did not meet the criteria to be a resident in Lewisville ISD or Lewisville High School, according to previous VYPE DFW reporting.
The junior has completed 74% of his passes this year, throwing for 742 yards with 13 touchdowns and 1 interception. He’s also run for 124 yards and 2 scores for the Farmers.
In his absence, the Farmers have won all four games and technically are undefeated this season on the field. As of Thursday afternoon, it is unclear if those previously vacated wins will return for the team. Lewisville is 3-0 in district play, tied with Denton Braswell for first place.
The Fighting Farmers have three games left in the regular season. Friday against 7-1 Flower Mound, then a home game vs. Braswell and closes on the road at Little Elm on Nov. 5.
The Brassfield presented updated documentation showing it had fully consolidated into a roughly 1,200-square-foot Lewisville apartment. Brassfield’s younger siblings had also been withdrawn from Argyle ISD.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Brassfield’s two younger brothers were enrolled at Argyle ISD, which Brassfield’s father, Jonathan, testified was bought for Laykon’s grandfather in the DEC meeting.
Jonathan Brassfield said he unenrolled his two younger sons at Argyle ISD after questions were raised and the family is living in an apartment in Lewisville. At the appeal, his father told UIL the family has moved into a bigger apartment in Lewisville.
On Tuesday, the Stony Point Tigers volleyball team took on the Round Rock Dragons in a tough district matchup.

The Texas high school football season is officially halfway done as we have wrapped up week eight and head into week nine.
While the main focus is leading their teams to Jerry’s World, many players have seen a rise in their recruitments as of late with college programs looking to add to their classes.
VYPE takes a look at the Top 5 recruits who are heating up with offers and with schools starting to make a strong push over the past few weeks.
By Jackson DiPasquale
Jaylen Addai has been a star since he arrived at Shadow Creek and now in his junior season, he is ranked as the number one player in the state of Texas and number one wide receiver in the country. Addai holds 48 total offers to date and has seen his recruitment really heat up as schools are starting to emerge from the pack.
Alabama, LSU, Miami, Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M and Notre Dame are all schools heavily in the mix for Addai and will all look to take a top position heading into the offseason.
TK Gaines is the top 2028 quarterback prospect in H-Town and has proven that so far this season leading Waller to a 6-1 record, throwing for 1,999 yards and 24 touchdowns while rushing for 521 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Gaines went into the season holding 23 offers and since August, he has gained 4 more offer from the likes of West Virginia, Missouri, LSU and Florida State. Oregon, Houston and LSU are the teams to watch early on as a commitment could be coming in the near future.
Cash Hines came on to the recruiting scene over the offseason, picking up his first offer in May. He now holds 15 offers and has picked up 5 offers during the season from the likes of Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and SMU to name a few.
Ranked as the No. 2 linebacker in the country according to 247Sports, Hines will be one of the most sought after recruits in the country and should see his offer list only grow more and will be a player to keep an eye on over the next two years.

Nazeree Guy is a player that has quickly emerged as one of the top junior prospects in H-Town as prior to his current junior season, he held 3 offers… That is no longer the case as Guy has gained 14 offers since the start of the season and holds 17 offers overall from Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Ohio State, Nebraska and TCU to name a few.
Is Guy the next big-time star out of Willis high school? That looks to be the case and expect to see more offers roll in for the talented linebacker following a full season of varsity tape.

Karzell Davis saw his recruitment take off this summer as he picked up 20 offers from June to now. Davis holds 24 offers as of today from the likes of Miami, Oregon, LSU, Alabama and Ole Miss and most recently picked up offers from Texas, Baylor, Texas A&M and Arkansas. Davis is emerging as one of the top wide receiver prospects in not only Houston but in the entire state of Texas.
Through the first seven games of his sophomore season, Davis has recorded 695 all purpose yards with 5 touchdowns receiving and his play on the field should only garner more attention from Division One programs. Expect to see his offer list grow over the offseason after an impressive sophomore season.
