The Volunteers newest five-star quarterback signee is already making an impact off the field in East Tennessee.

Faizon Brandon, the No. 2 overall recruit in the 2026 cycle, announced Friday he will host a toy drive benefiting East Tennessee Children’s Hospital from Dec. 5 through Dec. 12.

Brandon, a Greensboro (North Carolina) native who committed to the Vols in Aug. of 2024 and officially signed with Tennessee on Wednesday, is already using his platform before even enrolling in Knoxville.

For every toy donated, Brandon has pledged to personally deliver each one to patients in need at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital.

Fans can contribute through the official Amazon registry link by donating here.

For the next 12 days I’m teaming up with YOU to bring joy to kids at the East Tennessee Childrens Hospital! You can donate a toy by the Amazon link in my bio & I’ll deliver every single one in person to patients in need of some holiday cheer! Lets make a difference together! #GBO pic.twitter.com/b8LCcy8b1N
