★★★★★ NC QB Faizon Brandon

How soon before he's downgraded to 3- or 4-star status now that he's committed to the Big Orange

Don't think we have to worry about that with this one. Could end up being more highly touted than Nico.

 

[jeff1vol]

On3, ESPN, etc. Already have him as a 4 star and #3 QB in '26

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Faizon is GMac 2.0 in terms of charisma and influence. Lots of top talent want to play with Faizon I would watch how many times he visits TN over the next 1 1/2 years.

The Alabama win this past weekend has opened up the floodgates to building the foundation in this class.

 

[Sandman Vol]

Each year I find myself having looked forward two years and say maybe this will be the year we crack the top 5. I am ready to get hurt again. Maybe this will be the year.

T2026 is the year

 

[Good Ol' Charlie Brown]

Tennessee already looking for Nico's successor... will he declare for the 2026 draft? Or are they tired of him? Or do they want a backup that's decent? AUGGGHHHHHHHHH

[swampfoxfan]

Like to see us get busy on the defensive side.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Need to upgrade Osenda to 5 star. Tyreek King will probably get there at some point as well. GBO

As this guy once said. "Forgive them for they know not what they do"!"

Blasphemy!

 

[orangebloodgmc]

This class is starting to shape up!

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

18 commits …. 9 of which are 3 stars.

We’re not gonna be closing many gaps at this rate.

 

[SergeantVol]

Add another 4*

 

[Smokymtnbullet]

18 commits …. 9 of which are 3 stars.

We’re not gonna be closing many gaps at this rate.

With 105 scholarships available a lot of 3 stars are replacing walk ons and preferred walk ons.

@HoleInTheRoof

I petition that we use VolNation rankings from now on...which are simply the highest ranking among the different services for a recruit. Based on that, Osenda needs to be listed as a five star.

Doing well but would be nice to get a solid 5* or high 4* in the defense secondary.

 

[Vol737]

With 105 scholarships available a lot of 3 stars are replacing walk ons and preferred walk ons.

And, as always, several of these guys will likely pick up another star during their senior season. Long way to go before they hit campus.

Wish granted
