Freshman QB Shines with 5 TDs | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Faizon Brandon exploded onto the scene as Tennessee’s freshman QB, throwing for 226 yards and 3 TDs while rushing for 68 yards and 2 more scores — a five-TD game that tied a freshman record and made him the first SEC freshman since Cam Newton to pull off that feat. His electric performance earned him SEC Freshman of the Week honors and sparked a dominant win over Furman, even though he exited in the third quarter. With his poise and talent shining under pressure, Brandon’s debut reignited memories of Tennessee’s glory days. Next up? A brutal test against Power Four foe Georgia Tech — if he can maintain this level, the Vols’ season could be something special.
