Key Vols commit set to visit Tennessee for huge showdown against the Florida Gators

The future of the Tennessee Vols will be in Neyland Stadium on Saturday night when UT takes on the Florida Gators.

According to 247Sports' Tom Loy, 2026 five-star Vols quarterback commit Faizon Brandon will be at Tennessee's game against Florida this weekend.

Loy noted that Brandon remains "completely committed" to the Volunteers.

Brandon, 6-foot-4/197 lbs from Greensboro, NC, is rated by 247Sports as the No. 1 overall player in the 2026 recruiting class.

The North Carolina native committed to the Vols in early August.

Scouting report via 247Sports : Ascending signal caller that possesses a rare blend of pocket-passer size and dual-threat athleticism to go along with a high-powered arm. Had as good of a sophomore season as any of the 2026 quarterbacks, ranking first in a number of key statistical categories (completion percentage, yards per attempt and turnover rate). Rhythmic as a passer, getting the ball out fast and to his playmakers. Likes to stay on schedule with his clean footwork and shows poise in the face of pressure. Accurate to the numbers, and has found plenty of success attacking the intermediate level, but deep ball placement can be a bit uneven. Effective on designed runs with his acceleration and his natural twitch in both the upper and lower halves is ideal for run-pass options. Certainly benefited from throwing to a pair of Power Four wide receivers in his first year as a starter, but game tape shows a potential game-breaker at the next level that’s just starting to scratch the surface of what he could be, especially when you factor that he’s younger for the grade.

Tennessee is certainly in good shape for the next several years when it comes to the quarterback position with Brandon and 2025 five-star quarterback George MacIntyre currently committed.
