Nico Iamaleava, the big-armed starting quarterback for Tennessee a year ago, has entered the transfer portal after talks of a renegotiated NIL deal with the Volunteers reportedly broke down.
Iamaleava had agreed to a reported $8 million deal for his entire Tennessee career, a number set before the going price for a top college quarterback went up this offseason. ACC programs Miami and Duke are each spending a reported $4 million this year for their transfer additions, Carson Beck from Georgia and Darian Mensah from Tulane.
