Waiting for where the former Tennessee quarterback Nico ialavaava He plays another in his college career on Wednesday when the spring transfer portal opened.
Teased He is one of the schools that are interested in Iamaleav, but not for the almost money he asked for from Tennessee, the sources were reported by ESPN. The source said that UCLA is satisfied, that it “sits firm”, while Iamaleava is considering its possibilities.
“We will see if it will be developed. He is extremely talented with the starting experience against the elite competition. This is the sort of that we are right now,” said UCLA ESPN.
Sources said ESPN that Iamaleava wanted at least $ 4 million from Tennessee and that what was ready to offer him is not remotely close to this character. Iamaleava earned $ 2.4 million in Tennessee on the basis of a contract signed with Spyre Sports Group, a team based in Tennessee when he was still in high school. It is an agreement that would pay him in the range of $ 10 million if he stayed in Tennessee for four years.
Tennessee coach Josh Heupel announced last Saturday after the spring volunteer game that the program was moving forward without Iamaleava after missing training and meetings on Friday and not breaking anyone in the team or returning any calls or text messages.
Hepel thanked Iamaleava and called the situation unfortunate, but added, “There is no one more than the power, and that includes me.”
Iamaleava, the growing Sophomore redshirt, officially entered the transmission portal with the Contact brand on Wednesday. Later on Friday he called the offensive coordinator Tennessee Joey Halzle to tell him that he was entering the portal, but did not match Heupel.
Sources said ESPN that Iamaleavy representatives asked to change their agreement again before the winter portal in December after the loss of play -offs in Ohio, but its agreement was unchanged and Iamaleava did not enter the winter portal. His father also wanted nothing to be Tennessee to surround his son with better receivers and a more efficient offensive line in protection against the passage.
Before the start of the spring training of this year, Iamaleavy representatives approached Oregon to measure their interest in Iamaleav, but Oregon said it was not interested, the sources said ESPN, and Oregon then announced Tennessee that Iamaleava was shopped.
Iamaleava, a five -star view of Long Beach, California, was accepted from high school and his younger brother Madden Iamaleava committed himself to UCLA from high school, but changed his obligation and signed with Arkansas.
With Iamaleava options at UCLA, sources said ESPN that representatives of the current Quarterback Bruins, Joey AguilarThey covered their bases and called other schools to assess their interest in Aguilar, who moved from the Appalachian state in this offseason and left spring training as a probable appetizer.
Pete Thamel and Max Olson, CEO of Power 4, said at the beginning of this week that he thought Iamaleava had a “zero market” and added that it would be an “interesting test of how intelligent and disciplined universities look at him”.
Iamaleava helped lead Tennessee to college play -offs -off last year in the first year. He passed 2,616 yards, 19 landing and five wiretaps, but in nine games against the opponents of Sec and Ohio State in Play -off, more than 200 yards passed only twice.
