Report: Nico Iamaleava representatives have previously discussed Tennessee QB transferring with other schools

Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava is the biggest story in college football right now with what’s reportedly going on to end this week at spring practice over on Rocky Top. This apparently isn’t the first time that some of this has allegedly happened, though, in regards to the Volunteers’ quarterback.

On3’s Pete Nakos began reporting on ongoing negotiations between Iamaleava and the Vols on Thursday with the latest development being that Iamaleava missed practice on Friday. ESPN’s Chris Low has since tweeted out several notes about that news, including the fact that this supposedly isn’t the first time that those representing the quarterback have had conversations with other schools.

“One thing to add here is that Josh Heupel and Iamaleava have a very healthy relationship. But this is not the first time Iamaleava’s reps have talked to other schools over the last few months,” Low tweeted on Friday.

Again, Low has posted a few tweets since news of Iamaleava’s absence at practice this morning. One of those was the apparent demands by his representation, both by the end of the last portal cycle and ahead of the spring one next week, and the school’s response to those.

Iamaleava, a former five-star recruit for them, would be coming into his second season as the Volunteers’ starting quarterback. That’s after posting 2,616 yards, 19 touchdowns, and five interceptions on 63.8% completion, while also rushing for 358 yards and three more scores, as a redshirt freshman last year. Tennessee would go 10-3 overall in that season in earning their debut appearance in the College Football Playoff.
