Brandon Shines in Debut with 5 TDs | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Freshman QB Faizon Brandon electrified his Tennessee debut with five touchdowns—three passing, two rushing—tying a freshman record and becoming one of the rare UT signal-callers since 1995 to pull off such a feat. Though Furman is FCS, Brandon’s poise stood out: 13-of-17 for 226 yards, no interceptions, plus 68 rushing yards. He dazzled with deep bombs to Mike Matthews and proved he can extend plays with his legs, capped by a flawless opening drive. Coaches may spot tweaks in film, but the stats are clean and the performance promising—a strong start for a dual-threat quarterback ready for SEC tests next week.
