Iamaleava’s UCLA Journey and No Regrets | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Nico Iamaleava, the QB who left Tennessee for UCLA, says no regrets—his move was about mental health, not money, despite leading the Vols to a playoff run. After stalled negotiations over a $2M NIL deal (with reps pushing for $4M), he skipped spring drills and entered the transfer portal, landing at UCLA amid criticism. Though the Bruins went 3-9, Iamaleava stayed, embracing new coach Bob Chesney’s vision and dedicating himself to rebuilding the program. With family as his anchor and critics as fuel, he’s laser-focused on winning and restoring UCLA’s Rose Bowl glory.
