Maximus Denson — QB Denson is expected to lead Duncanville’s offense in 2026. He threw for 1,157 yards and 17 touchdowns last season and gives the Panthers varsity experience at quarterback. With the talent around him, steady quarterback play could be enough to keep Duncanville in the state title race. Trenton Yancey — WR/RB, 2027 Yancey is a Purdue commit and one of the most important players on the roster. He produced 780 receiving yards and 388 rushing yards last season, giving Duncanville a do-it-all offensive weapon. He can impact the game as a receiver, runner and matchup problem. Jairus Ingram — WR, 2028 Ingram is a 6’4” sophomore receiver and one of the next major names to watch in the Duncanville offense. With Yancy already established, Ingram gives the Panthers another high-upside target in the passing game. Robert Singleton — RB, 2027 Singleton rushed for 553 yards and seven touchdowns last season. He gives Duncanville a proven senior running back and should be one of the main pieces in the Panthers’ ground game. Brayden Arnold — RB, 2028 Arnold rushed for 429 yards and six touchdowns last season. Alongside Singleton, he gives Duncanville a strong one-two punch in the backfield. Aiden Williams — OL, 2027 Williams is a 6’5”, 295-pound senior offensive lineman and one of the key players up front. Duncanville’s offense has enough skill talent to be dangerous, but the offensive line will determine how consistent the Panthers can be. Kendrick Harris — IOL, 2028 Harris is a 6’3”, 305-pound junior interior offensive lineman. He gives Duncanville another large, physical piece up front and should be one of the important names in the offensive line group. Janero Welch — NG Welch is a 6’4”, 300-pound nose guard and one of the key pieces in Duncanville’s defensive front. His job will be to clog running lanes and help the Panthers replace defensive production from last season. Gatln Cryer — LB Cryer is a McNeese State commit and one of Duncanville’s top returning defensive players. He finished last season with 96 tackles and nine tackles for loss and should lead the Panthers’ tackling efforts in 2026. Yusuf Adegbite — LB Adegbite is another productive linebacker for Duncanville after finishing with 87 tackles and 11 tackles for loss. His versatility gives the Panthers another important piece in the front seven. Jonathan Barnes — CB Barnes is a UCF commit and one of the top returning players in the secondary. He finished last season with 35 tackles and two interceptions and gives Duncanville a trusted cornerback. Riley Lewis — CB, 2028 Lewis is a sophomore cornerback and one of the next up-and-coming names to watch in the Duncanville secondary.
