Three Teams Eying Nico Iamaleava Following Decision To Part Ways With Tennessee

It looks like there are three teams keeping a close eye on Nico Iamaleava after he decided to part ways with Tennessee. He is a real talent, and it’s no wonder teams are lining up to snatch him up.

Nico was a beast on the field, known for his killer moves and impressive stats. He’s got the skills that teams are looking for, and now that he’s becoming a free agent, everyone wants a piece of the action.

But who are these teams?

On3’s college football insider Pete Nakos reported on the situation Monday and noted that there’s three teams who could be in the mix to land Iamaleava via the transfer portal. Per Nakos, Iamaleava has drawn interest from UCLA, Tulane and North Carolina.

Iamaleava is a Long Beach, Calif. native, so it would make sense that he’d be interested in transferring to UCLA in order to play closer to his home. Nakos notes that UNC is a “known buyer” in the upcoming transfer portal window, indicating that Bill Belichick and Co. could be looking to make a late splash by bringing in the 20-year-old. As for Tulane, the Green Wave are have suspended starting quarterback T.J. Finley, creating a vacancy at the position.

Additionally, both USC and Notre Dame have been linked to Iamaleava since the news of his departure from Knoxville broke, though the two schools are reportedly not expected to pursue him.

All we can say is that things are heating up for Nico. And hey, who wouldn’t want a player like him on their team? We’ll just have to wait and see which lucky teams end up getting his signature.
