PRIVATE SCHOOL RANKINGS: No. 3 The Kinkaid School Falcons
The target is on their back – and The Kinkaid School wouldn’t have it any other way. After steamrolling through a 10-1 season and capturing the SPC-4A Championship with a 49-10 win over Episcopal, the Falcons are back this fall with the usual expectations and a reloaded roster.
Their only stumble came in an early exhibition loss to eventual UIL 3A-DII state champion Gunter. From there, coach Nathan Larned and co. never faced defeat again and quickly proved themselves as one of the top private school programs in Texas.
While the departure of All-SPC quarterback David Capobianco leaves a void under center, junior running back Wayne Shanks Jr. is more than capable of leading the offense. The explosive, do-it-all back posted nearly 1,900 total yards from scrimmage with 27 touchdowns in 2024, drawing scholarship offers from Ohio State, Florida, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, and others. His presence alone keeps Kinkaid's attack dangerous.

In the passing game, senior receivers Alexander Donnelly and Peter Liuzzi bring experience, dependable hands, and the ability to stretch defenses – giving the Falcons balance and options no matter who takes over at quarterback.
Moving over to defense, Kinkaid returns senior safety Caleb Pitts, edge rusher Odell Winn III, and junior linebacker Thomas Smith, a trio expected to set the tone physically.
