Tennessee Football Secures Commitment from Five-Star Quarterback Faizon Brandon
The Tennessee Volunteers have made a significant stride in their 2026 recruiting efforts by securing a verbal commitment from five-star quarterback Faizon Brandon. Brandon, a 6-foot-3.5-inch, 197-pound prospect from Grimsley High School in Greensboro, North Carolina, is widely regarded as the top overall recruit in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports. He is also ranked as the No. 2 quarterback and the sixth-best prospect overall in the 2026 class. (athlonsports.com)
Brandon’s commitment is a pivotal addition to Tennessee’s recruiting class, which already includes seven other 2026 prospects, four of whom are offensive players. His decision is expected to bolster the Volunteers’ recruiting efforts, potentially attracting other top-tier talent to Knoxville. Notably, Tennessee is in a competitive race for wide receiver Tristen Keys, the No. 1 receiver in the 2026 class. Brandon’s presence could play a crucial role in persuading Keys to join the Volunteers. (athlonsports.com)
