UCLA staff has updated current quarterbacks about the anticipated transfer of Nico Iamaleava from Tennessee, with discussions reportedly progressing. Although there are multiple schools interested in Iamaleava, UCLA isn't able to meet his financial demands, as he sought at least $4 million from Tennessee, while UCLA's offer was significantly lower. Iamaleava officially entered the transfer portal, and his relationship with Tennessee ended contentiously after he missed practices. His previous contract with Tennessee could have been worth up to $10 million if he remained for four years.
UCLA is among several schools interested in Iamaleava, but not for nearly the money he was asking for from Tennessee.
Iamaleava wanted at least $4 million from Tennessee, and what UCLA was prepared to offer him wasn't remotely close to that figure.
He's extremely talented with starting experience against elite competition. That's sort of where we are right now.
Heupel thanked Iamaleava and called the situation unfortunate, but added, 'there's no one bigger than the Power T, and that includes me.'
