The Nico Iamaleava era is set to begin at Tennessee in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, as starting quarterback Joe Milton III has opted out of the Jan. 1 matchup with Iowa.

Milton, a fifth-year senior, made his announcement Wednesday on social media that he was skipping the bowl game to begin preparing for the NFL draft and thanked his coaches, teammates and fans.

"Thanks Vol Nation for everything. JoJo out," posted Milton, who added that he would be in Orlando supporting the team this week.
