In a shocking turn of events, Tennessee’s prized 5-star quarterback commit Faizon Brandon has flipped his commitment to Alabama, sending shockwaves through the college football world. Brandon, a dynamic dual-threat quarterback and one of the top prospects in the 2026 class, had been committed to the Volunteers for months. However, after a late push from Alabama, he has decided to take his talents to Tuscaloosa, leaving Tennessee fans stunned and Crimson Tide supporters ecstatic.

Brandon ultimately chose Alabama over LSU, another program that had been making a strong push for his services. The decision further cements Alabama’s dominance in recruiting, as they land yet another elite signal-caller to lead their offense into the future. With his arm talent, mobility, and football IQ, Brandon is expected to be a perfect fit for Alabama’s offensive system under head coach Kalen DeBoer.

This flip is a massive win for the Tide and a tough loss for Tennessee, which had built its 2026 class around Brandon. But in the end, the allure of Alabama’s championship pedigree and quarterback development proved too strong to resist. Let’s roll, baby! The Tide just got their next superstar under center.
