A proud product of Greensboro, new No. 1 Faizon Brandon's rise up the 2026 rankings was a long time coming

Like many kids in the Piedmont area, Faizon Brandon grew up mesmerized by the feats of Panthers star Cam Newton. Now the new No. 1 class of 2026 recruit wants to chart his own course.

Was Grimsley his home school or did Guilford County's number 1 salesman pry him away from somewhere else?

I think he was originally a Western Guilford kid....I heard this from a NOT reliable source so please someone correct me if I am wrong

I’m pretty sure that he went to SE Guilford MS so I assume that he should have gone to SE High.

I'd like for him to stay close to home but he probably won't, a place like NC State who has been steady climbing under Dave Doren. He could come in and start/develop on the field without competing against other 5 star QB's like he would at UGA, OSU, Alabama or LSU.

See I want players like him and keondre at Reidsville to do the exact opposite…..I want them to go to the biggest stage so we can see what we got going on in NC high school football

I guess you have seen James Pearce Jr is being projected as the number 1 pick in next years draft on some mock drafts. Best decision he made was to go to TN to get coached by Rodney Garner. Plus TN NIL is one of the best in the country.

Jordan Davis won the Bednark Award given annually to the nation’s top defensive player, and the Outland Trophy, given to the country’s top interior lineman on either side of the ball. Mallard Creek to Georgia

Kids are gonna go to a place with the best combo of money and money.
