The holiday season is upon us, and Tennessee's newest highly touted addition is already making waves in the Knoxville community. In a time when a lot of Volunteers fans are anxious about the future of the football team, there is a feel-good story from a future Tennessee football star.
Faizon Brandon, the five-star quarterback who just signed with Tennessee, is already making himself a fan favorite. He announced on X Friday morning that he will be delivering toys to the East Tennessee Children's Hospital.
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

Tennessee football quarterback Faizon Brandon delivers toys to the children's hospital
The twelve days of Christmas toy drive that Brandon is running will surely bring lots of smiles to the children's faces. He will hand-deliver all the toys in person. This campaign is truly amazing to see from a new player. Not only is Faizon Brandon a star on the field, but he's also already proving to be a bigger star off the field.
Faizon Brandon has already racked up plenty of accolades on the field at the prep level. He is rated the number 2 overall player in the class of 2026 by the 247Sports composite. Brandon is making it known that he will be an even better community member than he is a football player, which is saying something.
It's not too often you get a guy with the level of skill and leadership that Faizon Brandon has. Tennessee may have found an absolute keeper at the quarterback position.
