Nico Iamaleava – Tennessee Volunteers
If you’ve been anywhere around Knoxville or the Tennessee football program over the last year or more, you’ve likely heard the loud roars of “Nico” surface throughout campus and at games. For the class of 2023, Iamaleava came to the Vols as one of the highest-ranked recruits in the history of the program. He was rated as a consensus five-star, the No. 2 ranked player in the country, No. 2 quarterback, and No. 1 in the state of California, per 247sports.
