'26 NC QB Faizon Brandon (Tennessee commit)

Why would Tennessee be screwed if Faizon is the next QB they got from high school to start?
I am just saying a what if scenario. Now things could always change. But unless they do, in 2026 we assume we will have GMac, Merk and Brandon as our scholarship QBs. Say Fazion wins the starting job. What if in this era, both GMac and Merk decide to enter the portal? How many scholarship QBs would that leave us with?

I just think it would be better if Brandon red shirted.

I don't care about the backup if Brandon is a generational QB. It's about competing for championships, not having a back up to be just ok if the starter gets hurt.

I get that but what happens if Brandon was to get hurt? I know it’s not likely to happen. But in this age of guys transferring for whatever reason they want. It would just make me nervous that GMac and Merk could bolt. We can’t go through the season with 1 scholarship QBs regardless of how great he is.

I don't get the worry. If Brandon is announced the starter it wouldnt be until after fall camp. Both QBs wouldn't immediately quit the team when the portal isn't open. Once the transfered we would bring in another recruit or a transfer backup.

I agree that Faizon should sit. But I think he has a chance to be the next high school QB land to start for Tennessee tbh
 
Can Faizon work on Keys in recruiting or is Keys more about the $$
Looks like Keys is leaning towards the Ala rep in developing wr. Is Ala now wru?

We would all hope he redshirts. Gives him a chance to not only learn the system, but add weight to his frame. Im super excited about GMac. More so than Faizon. Heupel is recruiting the position well.

We also can't just assume that Nico goes pro after this year. He will have to take a huge step next season, which is definitely possible. If he does go pro, that means he had a helluva year. Which is good for us. Hope we have that issue.
