Earlier this week, Iamaleava entered the NCAA transfer portal, according to On3’s Pete Nakos, with a do-not-contact tag. The designation typically means other schools and coaches should not contact the player as the player wants to initiate dialogue with other programs.

Former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava is expected to transfer to UCLA, a source briefed on the process said. Iamaleava officially entered the transfer portal Wednesday with a “do not contact” label. He left Tennessee last week after attempts to rework his contract with a Tennessee name, image and likeness (NIL) collective went public.
