Brandon Shines in Debut for Vols | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

True freshman QB Faizon Brandon wowed in his debut, throwing for 226 yards and 5 TDs while rushing for 68 yards and 2 more scores — all without an interception — leading Tennessee to a 56-9 rout of Furman. At just 18, he became the youngest QB ever to start for the Vols, completing 13 of 17 passes with poise beyond his years. Brandon credited his teammates’ trust and offseason work for his success, but the real test begins next: a road game at Georgia Tech, followed by a showdown with Texas at home on Sept. 26. With this explosive start, Brandon is quickly becoming Tennessee’s most electrifying new face — and the season’s biggest breakout story.
