Former Tennessee Vols quarterback Nico Iamaleava is off to a nightmarish start with the UCLA Bruins.

Iamaleava, who left Tennessee for UCLA earlier this spring, is 0-3 through his first three games at UCLA.

On Friday night, Iamaleava and the Bruins lost 35-10 to New Mexico.

UCLA reportedly paid New Mexico $1.2 million to play in Pasadena on Friday night, making the blowout loss even worse for the Bruins.

Former Georgia QB Aaron Murray calls Nico Iamaleava’s decision the biggest transfer mistake of all time

Former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Aaron Murray took to Twitter/X.com on Saturday morning to share some thoughts on Iamaleava’s start with the Bruins.

“This will go down as possibly the biggest transfer mistake of all time,” wrote Murray. “And I was really excited to see Nico year two as a starter for Tennessee.”

It’s hard to disagree with Murray’s statement — at least from a football standpoint. Iamaleava left an established program for a team with less talent, less coaching staff continuity, less fan support, and less NIL money. And the head coach, DeShaun Foster, already looks like he’s on the hot seat.

Not good. Not good at all for the former Tennessee quarterback.
