Former Tennessee Volunteers quarterback Nico Iamaleava was turned down at three historic college football schools.

Iamaleava entered the transfer portal and ended up with UCLA, where ESPN sources say he'll be making less in NIL money than what he was at Tennessee. On the other side of things, new UCLA quarterback Joey Aguilar hit the portal when Iamaleava signed because he was expecting to be the new starting quarterback.

Tennessee football worked overtime to try and flip a quarterback after losing Nico Iamaleava. The Volunteers failed to flip at least three quarterbacks following Iamaleava's transfer, per ESPN. Tennessee football did get the commitment of former UCLA quarterback Joey Aguilar, though.
