Former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava appears bound for UCLA, per numerous reports, after leaving the Vols over a dispute about NIL pay.

The news comes after attempts to renegotiate his NIL went public, creating what essentially became an NFL-style holdout.

Whether the quarterback solution is already on the roster or in the transfer portal, the Volunteers have a few to choose from over the next few months, and the spring game was an opportunity for Heupel to look at two of them.
