Blake Faux (born January 1, 2007) is an American Football linebacker who is currently unsigned by a professional team.

Early years

Faux was born in Nashville, Tennessee to a single mother, BJ Faux. He attended Sycamore High School in Pleasant View, Tennessee where he played linebacker and tight end. In addition to playing varsity football, he also played first baseman for the baseball team. During his time at Sycamore, Faux was named to the Class 3A all-state team in his Junior and Senior seasons as a linebacker. He also won the award of Mr. Football in the state of the Tennessee in his senior season. Additionally, Faux broke his high school's record for career tackles with 521. He also broke the school record for career defensive touchdowns with 7.

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.

College career

In Faux's first year with the Vanderbilt Commodores, he played in 10 games and amassed 7 tackles (2 solo). The first tackle of his college career came against the Alabama Crimson Tide. Continuing into his sophomore year, Faux played in 14 games and had 28 tackles (11 solo). He had something of a breakout game against the Tennessee Volunteers with 7 tackles (2 for a loss), 1 forced fumble and recovery, and an interception. 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. He started all 14 games of the season, and had more than 10 tackles in 9 of them. In Faux's best game of the season, and his college career, he amassed 21 tackles, and 2 interceptions, with one returned for a touchdown. He finished the season with a team high 123 tackles, and was named to the All-SEC Second Team. In his final season as a Commodore, Faux ended with an SEC leading 152 tackles (91 solo), 3 sacks, and 3 interceptions. His huge senior season earned him a spot on the All-SEC First Team, and he was runner-up for the NCAA Best LB.
