Quarterback Faizon Brandon, the top overall prospect in the Class of 2026, committed to Tennessee on Saturday.

Ranked No. 1 in his class by 247Sports, Brandon chose the Volunteers over Alabama, LSU and N.C. State.

Brandon announced his commitment during a ceremony at Grimsley High School in Greensboro, N.C., where the 6-foot-4 quarterback led his team to a 13-1 record as a sophomore last fall.

Brandon completed 69 percent of his passes last season and threw for 3,026 yards and 36 touchdowns against three interceptions. He also rushed for 528 yards and nine scores.
