Nico Iamaleava, a highly regarded quarterback, is in talks to transfer to UCLA. Last season, he led Tennessee to the College Football Playoff, passing for 2,616 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions. In nine games against SEC opponents and Ohio State, he surpassed 200 yards only twice. Tennessee’s offense ranked No. 9 in the SEC for scoring offense at 25.0 points per game, with the league’s top rushing offense and No. 11 passing offense. Iamaleava sought at least $4 million from Tennessee, where he earned $2.4 million under a contract with Spyre Sports Group. A four-year stay at Tennessee would have netted him around $10 million. UCLA, coming off a 5-7 season under coach DeShaun Foster, finished No. 14 in scoring offense and No. 12 in total offense in league play. Iamaleava is ranked as the top player in ESPN’s transfer portal rankings.
