Former Tennessee Vols quarterback Nico Iamaleava officially committed to the UCLA Bruins on Sunday afternoon.
Iamaleava, a former five-star recruit, spent the first two seasons of his collegiate career at Tennessee.
The California native led the Vols to an appearance in the College Football Football Playoff this past season before surprisingly parting ways with Tennessee earlier this month.
Iamaleava's departure from Tennessee came amid reports of an NIL contract dispute along with reported concerns from his camp about the play of the Vols' offensive line and wide receiver group this spring.
Suffice it to say, the breakup between Iamaleava and Tennessee was ugly at best.
