Hendon Hooker and now Joe Milton are headed to the professional level, meaning the next man is up in the pipeline — and he enters the situation with quite a bit of hype. Former five-star, No. 1 overall player Nico Iamaleava is the man under center now for the Volunteers, looking to build off of a strong start to his career back in January.
Iamaleava lit up the Iowa Hawkeyes, helping to power Tennessee to a 35-0 bowl victory. He’s now going through his first spring session as the starter, quickly transitioning into a leadership role within the program.
