Alabama football has managed to flip 5-star quarterback, who was previously considered a firm commitment to Tennessee. A standout from Grimsley High School in Greensboro, North Carolina, had pledged to the Volunteers back in August 2024, emphasizing his strong connections with the coaching staff and feeling of comfort within the program.
During his junior year, Brandon put up impressive numbers, completing 135 of 177 passes for 2,256 yards and 27 touchdowns with just one interception. He also proved to be a dual-threat quarterback, rushing for 564 yards and eight touchdowns on 57 carries. His outstanding performance earned him the Gatorade North Carolina Player of the Year honors.
Alabama’s unwavering recruitment efforts have finally paid off as Brandon commits to the Crimson Tide, further strengthening their already formidable recruiting class and adding a dynamic talent to their future lineup.
This flip highlights the fierce competition in college football recruiting, where verbal commitments can change as prospects reconsider their options. Losing Brandon marks a major setback for Tennessee, which had been making strides in securing top quarterback recruits.
As Brandon makes the transition to Alabama, fans and analysts will be eager to see how his skills evolve within the Crimson Tide’s program.
