Would you believe it if I told you the No. 1 player in the United States of America can sling the rock?
That must be why he’s No. 1.
Faizon Brandon, Tennessee’s prized quarterback commit in the class of 2026, has everybody in the college football world talking after a recent showcase.
Brandon competed at the Elite 11 finals in Los Angeles and made some incredible throws.
He even won the “Rail Shot Challenge.” Take a look:
Former UT quarterback Jarrett Guarantano was certainly impressed.
“Faizon Brandon is THE real deal. With a really good supporting cast & Coach Heupel’s ability to coach Offense, endless potential. Obviously a lot must happen within a Quarterback’s development, but his talent is immense. Also, might be one of the flyest first names. #Vols #GBO”
His talent is immense. I like the way that sounds.
Who knows more about playing quarterback than Guarantano?
That’s a guy who had like 27 different quarterback coaches. He’s been taught everything a QB can be taught.
Let’s all hope Brandon continues to progress as he gets set for his career as a Vol. He’s got a bright future that hopefully will include throwing the ball to Tristen Keys a lot.
In Knoxville, that is. Not Baton Rouge. Ideally.
Brandon should have Vol Nation excited. This guy is poised to be everything that Nico Iamaleava was supposed to be.
