LSU has secured a commitment from Bryce Underwood, the top quarterback in the 2025 cycle and the No. 1 overall player in America. They are now aiming to make it two consecutive cycles landing the top quarterback in the country by pursuing Faizon Brandon, the No. 1 quarterback in the 2024 class.
Branton, originally from Greensboro, North Carolina, is ranked as a top-10 prospect and the No. 2 quarterback in the 2024 cycle by On3’s industry rankings. However, both On3 and 247Sports consider him the top quarterback in their own rankings, with the latter also ranking him as the No. 1 overall player in the cycle. After his recent visit to Baton Rouge, where he met with the coaching staff to discuss his development process, Brandon seems to have had a positive experience.
LSU’s pursuit of Brandon is gaining momentum after fellow five-star Dia Bell committed to Texas earlier in the week and another four-star quarterback, Brady Hart, committed to Michigan after his visit to LSU. Tennessee currently appears to be leading LSU’s efforts to land Brandon but with time before signing day LSU will continue their pursuit of him as they aim to secure another top quarterback for their program.
