Fall camp is here and the biggest question surrounding Tennessee football is still the quarterback battle. Is Faizon Brandon already the clear favorite or does George McIntyre still have a legitimate chance to win the job?
The Sunday Sports Source panel breaks down the latest on Tennessee’s QB competition, including why some believe Brandon has pulled ahead and why the race may not be as finished as it looks. The panel also discusses what the upcoming scrimmages could reveal and what McIntyre would need to do to change the conversation.
Plus, we take a full look at the Vols heading into the 2026 season:
🏈 Tennessee QB Battle: Faizon Brandon vs. George McIntyre
🏈 Best & worst position groups: Where are the Vols strongest and where are the concerns?
🏈 Aaron Carter suspension: Should Tennessee ignore the NCAA and play him anyway?
🏈 2026 expectations: Are expectations for Josh Heupel and the Vols going up?
🏈 Top opposing QBs: Jimmy Hyams names the three quarterbacks Tennessee should worry about most.
🏈 Tennessee scheduling: What do the future non-conference schedules mean for Vol fans?
🏀 Rick Barnes & Tennessee basketball: Does another addition give the Vols an embarrassment of riches or too many players competing for minutes?
It’s August. Fall camp is underway. The questions are getting bigger and the answers are getting closer.
