5-star Faizon Brandon has three SEC schools in his final four, will commit in August

Faizon Brandon is set to commit, this following several unofficial visits this month. A cutdown of his list, with an August commitment in mind, has now accelerated Brandon’s recruitment.

A five-star quarterback in the class of 2026, Brandon is down to a final four of Alabama, LSU, North Carolina State and Tennessee. According to 247Sports, Brandon is the top-ranked recruit in his class.

He is a 6-foot-3, 195-pound quarterback prospect from Grimsley (Greensboro, North Carolina).  Last year, he was 191-for-277 for 3,026 passing yards. He had 36 passing touchdowns and four interceptions.

Brandon told On3 that he made his Thursday cut down because these four schools were engaged with him the most.

“They have shown me that they can develop quarterbacks and that has been a thing that has caught my eye about all four of these schools,” Brandon told Chad Simmons of On3.

“All the quarterbacks they’ve sent to the league are impressive. That’s definitely something I’m looking for in a school and these schools have that.”

This past weekend, the North Carolina quarterback took an unofficial visit to Alabama.

He has been offered by programs such as Duke, Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Ohio State and South Carolina among others.

In addition to playing quarterback, Brandon also plays as a forward for Grimsley’s varsity basketball team.
