Faizon Brandon Takes Over at QB | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Five-star freshman Faizon Brandon has officially seized the starting quarterback role for Tennessee, set to debut against Furman on September 5th — a huge leap for a true freshman amid high expectations. Ranked No. 10 overall and top QB in his class, Brandon joins an elite but rare group of top-rated QBs who’ve started right away since 2016 — most notably Trevor Lawrence. With Tennessee’s brutal schedule featuring four top-15 opponents, managing expectations is key. While raw talent matters, coaching and experience play big roles — and Josh Heupel’s system is built for QB success. Expect flashes of brilliance and growing pains; a realistic projection: 2,800 yards, 21 TDs, 9 INTs if he starts all year.
