AP’s list of top freshmen to watch includes quarterbacks at Vanderbilt and Tennessee
The Associated Press (AP) has released a list of top freshmen to watch in college football, with a focus on quarterbacks from Vanderbilt and Tennessee. Vanderbilt's Jared Curtis and Tennessee's Faizon Brandon are vying for starting positions. Curtis, a 6-foot-3 recruit, withdrew his commitment to Georgia to play for his hometown school, Vanderbilt, and has over 9,500 career passing yards.
Brandon, a 6-4 sophomore, threw for 6,374 yards and 79 touchdowns during his high school career. Tennessee's quarterback competition began when Joey Aguilar, who threw for 3,565 yards last year, was unable to secure a fifth year of eligibility. Brandon is competing with Brentwood Academy's MacIntyre, who threw for 8,293 yards and 62 touchdowns.
The Southeastern Conference has a realistic chance of opening the season with a freshman starting quarterback.
