Tennessee Vols quarterback Nico Iamaleava, the five-star phenom who arrived in Knoxville last week, had a message for fans on the first day of the early signing period.

Iamaleava hopped on the official Tennessee Football Twitter account to explain to folks how to correctly pronounce his name.

ee-ah-MAH-LAY-ah-va is the correct way to pronounce Iamaleava, according to the man himself.

It seems like most fans are just going with "Nico" when talking about the dynamic quarterback. It's not often that a recruit gets the Beyonce or Bono treatment where they can just go by one name, but Nico is already in that company it appears.
