Brandon Takes Over as Vols QB | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Tennessee’s football team has stunned fans by naming true freshman Faizon Brandon as their starting quarterback — a five-star recruit and 18-year-old phenom stepping into the fire. He edges out redshirt freshman George MacIntyre, and with the Vols aiming for the College Football Playoff, this move signals big expectations. Brandon will lead them against Furman to open the season, then face Georgia Tech and top-ranked Texas in back-to-back brutal tests. While he’s got elite talent and support from returning stars like DeSean Bishop, the pressure is immense. If he delivers, Tennessee could be a dark horse in the SEC — but if he falters, it’ll be a long season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
