By David Ubben Verified, Ralph Russo Verified| The Athletic Verified KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Thursday evening, Tennessee's quarterbacks gathered for an annual tradition, with Nico Iamaleava among them. On their off day ahead of Saturday's spring game, Tennessee's quarterbacks sat around the table at quarterbacks coach Joey Halzle's home. His wife, Cara, made tacos. It was mostly business as usual, despite a report earlier in the day that returning starter Iamaleava was in negotiations for a new contract.
By Ralph Russo Verified, Chris Vannini Verified| The Athletic Verified Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava has submitted the paperwork to enter the transfer portal and is not expected to return to Tennessee, a person briefed on the situation told The Athletic. The news comes after attempts to re-negotiate his NIL went public, creating what essentially became an NFL-style holdout. Iamaleava, who helped lead Tennessee to the College Football Playoff last year as a redshirt freshman, missed practice and team meetings Friday.
