According to Rivals national recruiting analyst Adam Gorney, Kennedy is transferring from Duncanville (TX) to Oak Park (Calif.) for the 2026 high school football season. Kennedy already has a half dozen offers as he heads into his second season playing varsity football.
Kennedy was ruled ineligible to play in the University Interscholastic League (UIL) back in May and though it was rumored he may in fact return to Arkansas, now the quarterback will be getting a chance to play California high school football this fall.
Kennedy, who had transferred from Little Rock (AR) Central to Duncanville back in late February, is viewed by many as one of the top Class of 2029 quarterbacks, with the signal caller already fielding several Division I, Power 4 offers.
The rising sophomore signal caller currently has collegiate offers on the table from programs like Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Vanderbilt, Miami, and Mississippi State after throwing for over 2,100 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2025.
The Eagles went 5-7 last season and will head into the preseason as the state’s No. 368th ranked team, according to the California 2026 High School Football Massey Rankings.
