The spotlight has been on Joe Milton this offseason after a strong finish to his 2022 season, but Tennessee has another quarterback of interest on the roster. Nico Iamaleava, On3’s top overall player in the 2023 recruiting cycle, is set to be Tennessee’s backup this fall. Going into 2024, Josh Heupel’s offense will be all his.
That makes the time spent on the practice field right now very important, obviously. Not only does Iamaleava have to be ready to roll this fall, but Heupel is looking down the road and getting him ready for 2024.
After Thursday’s scrimmage, Heupel updated us on his progress through this point in camp.
