★★★★★ 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.

 

[Adam Sandler]

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

 

[Peradox1K]

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

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.

[volbound1700]

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

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.
