Freshman QB Shines in Debut | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Tennessee’s freshman QB Faizon Brandon, just 18, shredded defenses in his debut start, throwing for 226 yards and 3 TDs while rushing for 68 yards and 2 more scores—all in under three quarters. Coach Heupel praised his poise, decision-making, and dual-threat ability, calling it exactly what was expected. Brandon joins elite company as the first SEC QB since Cam Newton to throw 3 TDs and run 2 in a debut, and becomes the youngest Vols starter ever. While his running style is aggressive, Heupel embraces it—adding another dimension to the offense. Solid start, but plenty of room to grow as they gear up for their next big challenge.
