Lewisville quarterback Laykon Brassfield runs against Denton Billy Ryan. Brassfield was ruled ineligible by 5-6A District Executive Committee on Sept. 25.
The Lewisville Fighting Farmers started Friday, Sept. 25, with a 3-0 record and ranked No. 13 in Class 6A.
Heading into the Battle of the Axe that night, Lewisville is now 0-3 and without starting quarterback Laykon Brassfield.
The 5-6A District Executive Committee held a hearing on Friday about a residency issue regarding Brassfield.
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.
The Platform reported in March that Brassfield transferred from Edmond North, near Oklahoma City, to Lewisville.
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.
On Twitter, Brassfield said he and his family will appeal the DEC decision, but he is currently ineligible to play.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Brassfield’s two younger brothers are enrolled at Argyle ISD, which Brassfield’s father testified was bought for Laykon’s grandfather.
Jonathan Brassfield said he unenrolled his two sons at Argyle ISD after questions were raised and the family is living in an apartment in Lewisville.
This is the second noteworthy transfer decision this week. The UIL denied an appeal from Allen defensive back Elijah Smith, agreeing with a DEC decision that Smith moved for athletic purposes.
Smith moved from Hamilton, Arizona, and has not played a varsity game for the 4-0 Eagles. According to 247Sports, Smith has offers from Baylor, Kansas State, Louisville, Oklahoma State, Colorado State and UNLV.
