Freshman QB Faizon Brandon Steps In | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Freshman QB Faizon Brandon, Tennessee’s first five-star commitment of the 2026 class and a former top recruit from Greensboro, NC, is set to make his college debut under center for the Vols in their season opener against Furman — all at Neyland Stadium. Already on campus since January and logging reps in spring practices, the 6-foot-4, 225-pound signal-caller chose Tennessee over Alabama and LSU back in August, officially signing in December. Wearing the iconic No. 11 jersey once donned by standout QB Joshua Dobbs, Brandon carries big expectations as he steps into the spotlight for his first career start on September 5th at 3:30 PM ET on SEC Network Plus.
