It’s just about time for Greensboro (N.C.) Grimsley five-star quarterback Faizon Brandon, the No. 1 player in the class of 2026, to announce his commitment. The 6-foot-3, 197-pounder will select from a group of finalists that includes Alabama, LSU, NC State and Tennessee Saturday on the 247Sports YouTube channel. Ahead of Brandon’s commitment, the elite signal-caller sat down with 247Sports national recruiting analyst Tom Loy to discuss a variety of topics.
What was it like when he was named the No. 1 player in the country? What has each finalist in play down the stretch? What does he do with his free time? What drives him day in and day out? Who is part of his support system? What does he want to do with his life after football? All that and much, much more.
