Denson was a surprise breakout player in 2024, leading the Mountain Athletic Conference with 1,135 rushing yards. He ran for eight touchdowns and added a 75-kick return touchdown.
Listed as a Top Performer and a considered candidate for the All-American Bowl 2025 - Kyngston Denson, 2027, RB, North Buncombe (NC): Quick and fast, not done growing yet either, the 5’9 and 185-pounder did well.

Personal Statement
Hi Coaches, Last season brought me the 2024 VARSITY FOOTBALL OFFENSIVE MVP for North Buncombe High School (North Carolina) and the 2024 3A/4A Mountain Athletic All Conference (MAC) RB with 1,135 rushing yards/8 games. I listed in the TOP 20 2027 RBs in North Carolina on NC Sports Page and a Blue-Grey All-American Combine NC Regional Scouting Report Top Performer. Goals! This 2025 Football Season as a Junior, leads me into my 3rd yr Varsity Football RB. I have a strong, competitive spirit for this sport; a keen eye on the field and drive to fight for every yard or tackle possible. I work on being a great person; staying humble; my academics; and develop myself to improve my game. I have a great time on the field and being a team player with and for the entire team. I'm looking forward to continuing my education, surpassing my potential growth, and getting on the football field as an improved player with extreme dedication this year and every year after. Go Blackhawks! #WNCStrong
