Former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava is looking for a new college football team after the Vols moved on from the signal-caller ahead of the 2025 season.
Following Iamaleava’s departure from Tennessee’s program, he received a crystal ball prediction to North Carolina and first-year head coach Bill Belichick from 247Sports.
After a prediction to North Carolina, Pete Nakos of On3 announced Iamaleava is no longer a target for the Tar Heels.
“North Carolina is out of the mix for Tennessee transfer QB Nico Iamaleava,” On3 announced. “The Tar Heels are viewed as the favorite to land South Alabama QB Gio Lopez.”
Iamaleava started all 13 games for the Vols in 2024. He completed 213-of-334 passing attempts for 2,616 yards and 19 touchdowns. Iamaleava also totaled 358 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 109 rushing attempts.
Tennessee went 10-3 last season (6-2 SEC) and qualified for the College Football Playoff for the first time in school history.
