Faux wasn't rated very highly out of high school. He was rated as a zero-star recruit going into his senior year, but with his award winning final season his draft stock did jump a little bit, and he was rated as a two-star recruit after his final game of high school football. His biggest knock was the competition he was playing against, and the only D1 scholarship offer he received was from his hometown team, the Vanderbilt Commodores. He did get promises that if he were to walk on to Tennessee and Memphis he would make the team, but Faux decided it would be his best bet to commit to Vanderbilt, which would also help his professional prospects in the future if football didn't pan out.

For his efforts in his sophomore year, Faux was named as an Academic All-SEC honorable mention. Faux's junior year was where he made his name known.
