Another day, another splash for Tennessee football on the recruiting trail. The Volunteers shifted to the 2026 class today, picking up the No. 1 overall player in the cycle. Faizon Brandon, a five-star quarterback out of Greensboro, North Carolina, chose Tennessee over LSU, NC State and Alabama this afternoon.
Brandon is the No. 1 overall player in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports. The 6-3, 197 pound prospect is the latest elite quarterback to commit to Tennessee under Josh Heupel. Brandon joins the line of Nico Iamaleava, Jake Merklinger and George MacIntyre as the Volunteers continue to stockpile future talent at the most important position on the field.
