Faison Brandon's been getting a lot of hype here lately, but is this just summer content searching season?

I'll explain.

You are locked on balls, your daily podcast on the Tennessee Volunteers, part of the Locked on Podcast Network, your team every day.

What up everybody?

Happy Thursday morning and welcome into Locked-on Vols.
