It's only a matter of time until 5-star quarterback Faizon Brandon makes the move from North Carolina to Knoxville. The elite prospect has long been a Tennessee football pledge and countless fans were tuned in to the Elite 11 Finals to see how he was doing.
While Brandon fell short of his goal of being named MVP, that doesn't mean he didn't put on a show while competing. He was a joy to watch and people are even more excited about his future in the SEC. The list includes On3's Charles Power, who has listed Brandon as the QB with the most upside moving forward:

Faizon Brandon has an unreal future with Tennessee football moving forward
Talk about things we love to see. Brandon indeed turned plenty of heads at the Elite 11 Finals, as his cannon for a right arm was on full display. Off the field, Brandon has plenty of people talking too thanks to the big-time recruiting efforts he's putting in.
The future Vols signal-caller is playing a role in Josh Heupel trying to flip 5-star Tristen Keys, who is ranked the No. 1 WR in the country. The thought of Brandon and Keys playing together is absolutely unreal, as the two are going to be playmakers at the next level.
Despite being the top-ranked quarterback in the country and getting interest from other schools, Brandon has remained 100 percent solid in his decision to play for Tennessee. Nothing is going to change his mind there, which is great for Heupel and his staff.
Moving forward, Brandon will look to have a memorable senior season with his high school team and then he'll pack his bags and get ready for college. Everyone all over the state of Tennessee can't wait to see him suit up for the Vols. Powers' latest take has plenty of fans even more excited for what's to come for Brandon in 2026 and beyond.
