It’s been a good day for Tennessee football fans. The Volunteers blew the game open against Virginia, led by the offensive fireworks of new starting quarterback Joe Milton III. Milton accounted for four total touchdowns, two through the air and two on the ground. However, one of the most exciting parts of the day was when his future predecessor took the field.
Nico Iamaleava was the No. 2 prospect in America last recruiting cycle, according to 247Sports consensus rankings. There’s been a lot of hype surrounding his name since he committed, and the stadium erupted in chants of his name once he took the field. Many view him as the program’s future, and he has all the talent to do so. The 6-6 California native throws one of the best footballs in all of college football already – sources around the program are already raving about his arm talent and the flashes in practice.
