Quarterback Madden Iamaleava, an ESPN top-100 recruit and the younger brother of projected Tennessee starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava, committed to UCLA on Saturday night.

Madden Iamaleava, ranked No. 83 among 2025 recruits and No. 7 among prospects from California, is the first major recruit for new UCLA coach DeShaun Foster. The four-star prospect posted on social media Friday that Oregon had offered a scholarship, and he had received interest from Nebraska and other major programs.

The 6-foot-3, 185-pound Iamaleava passed for 3,626 yards, 43 touchdowns and four interceptions in his first season as a starter for Warren High School in Downey, California, where he backed up Nico in 2022.
