Tennessee Vols 5-star QB commit Faizon Brandon drops quote that will get UT fans extremely excited this summer

2026 five-star quarterback Faizon Brandon isn't just solidly committed to the Tennessee Vols -- he's also working hard to bring as much elite talent as possible with him to Rocky Top. 

Brandon, a Vols commit since August, is competing at the Elite 11 Finals this week in Los Angeles. 

On night one of the event, Brandon told On3 that he thinks Tennessee can land an elite trio of recruits. 

“I think we can land both TK (WR Tristen Keys) and Legend Bey,” said Brandon to On3. “Really trying to work on (RB) Savion (Hiter). Those are three guys I think we’ll be able to get." 

Keys is rated as the No. 1 wide receiver in the nation and the No. 3 overall player in the 2026 recruiting class. Hiter is rated as the No. 1 running back in the nation and the No. 17 overall player in the 2026 recruiting class. 

Bey, meanwhile, is rated as the No. 23 athlete in the nation and the No. 49 overall player in the state of Texas. 

The Vols are very much in the mix to land all three of those players, but it won't be easy. Keys, who is coming off a great visit to Tennessee, is still committed to LSU (and he's also being pursued by Miami and Texas A&M). Hiter is also considering Michigan, Georgia, and Ohio State. 

Brandon, who has relationships with the three players he mentioned, sounds confident that Tennessee will make a huge splash on the recruiting trail this summer. 

Whether or not that happens remains to be seen. But one thing is clear -- Brandon is doing his part to help Tennessee land some of the top high school talent in the country.
