Faizon Brandon’s Rise Sparks Unseen Buzz—What Everyone’s Whispering About Now
Ryan Staub, a veteran transfer and the assumed QB3 this fall, had this to say of both earlier in camp.
“George is a great leader,” Staub said. “George has all the intangibles. He’s tall. He’s got a strong arm. He’s very accurate. He’s decisive, quick. Great guy to learn from. He’s competitive. He’s a great addition to the room.
“And Faizon’s just – I mean, wow – kind of a freak of nature, like walks in at 6-3, 215 (pounds) as a true freshman. I mean, that’s impressive. He’s got raw ability, raw arm strength, and he’s smart. He’s learning this offense and it’s not easy.”
Not many were giving Brandon a big chance entering spring ball, but that seems to have changed in a pretty big way. In no way is this battle over — it will rage on through fall camp. However, it’s seemingly a true quarterback battle and the true freshman is absolutely in the thick of it with a legitimate chance to win it.
