The surrounding former quartback from Tennessee, Nico Iamaleova, is coming to an end, with the 20-year-old on the way to his home state of California after leaving the volunteers.
Only four days after Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel announced that the program “followed” from Amaleoava is expected to transfer the quarterback to UCLA, as reported by Bruce Feldman and Colin Cowherd. The news came after reports of a NIL dispute between the Vols and Iamaleoa in which the quartback suech $ 2 million more reported about his existing deal.
Iamaleoava grew up in Long Beach, California, which is located about an hour south of UCLA campus. I officially have the Spring Transfer Portal on Wednesday.
In 2022, Iamaleoava worked on Tennessee as a five-stars recruit with a NIL package that is said to be between $ 8 and $ 9 million. After I only started one match in 2023, I scientists the full -time starter of the team for the University Football season 2024.
Last season Iamaleava amounted to a total of 2,616 passing yards, 19 passing touchdowns, five interceptions and 145.3 passer -rating, while he compested 63.8% of his passes. He also hurried for 358 yards and three touchdowns.

Iamaleva and the volunteers ended 2024 with a record of 10-3 and made the extensive play-off of the University Football. The end of the line came with a first round dribing through the final national champion Ohio State Buckeyes.
