The Tennessee quarterback position has been a hot topic over the last month, and it’s going to get even more interesting less than a year from now. In the spring of 2026, Josh Heupel will welcome in five-star, No. 1 overall player, Faizon Brandon.
Brandon committed to Tennessee in August of 2024 ahead of his junior year of high school. He ended up throwing 35 touchdowns against just two interceptions in that season, solidifying his ranking among the elite quarterbacks in the 2026 class. Brandon has remained firm with Tennessee to this point and now suddenly has an obvious chance at playing early in Knoxville following the Nico Iamaleava saga.
