Youngest QB Ever to Start for Vols | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Faizon Brandon is poised to shatter records as the youngest quarterback ever to start for Tennessee—just 18 years, 3 months, and 4 days old. Before 1972, freshmen couldn’t even play varsity, but since then, 13 true freshmen have started at QB for the Vols… all older than Brandon. He’s not just stepping in—he’s rewriting history before his first season ends. With Peyton Manning and Erik Ainge on the list of past record holders, Brandon’s debut against Furman on Sept. 5 at 3:30 PM ET (ESPN+ & SEC Network) could be a turning point in college football’s embrace of youth. Watch closely—this kid isn’t just playing; he’s changing the game. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
