Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava has submitted paperwork to the school to enter the transfer portal, sources told Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger.
The relationship is expected to be over and Tennessee held a team meeting on the matter this morning where head coach Josh Heupel informed players of the decision.
The Volunteers are playing their Orange & White spring game on Saturday.
Iamaleava did not attend practice and meetings on Friday amid reports that he wanted to renegotiate his NIL deal with the program. (Iamaleava's father disputed a story by On3.) His absence was unexpected and people within the Tennessee program were reportedly frustrated by the attempt to change an agreement that was the richest in college football when Iamaleava signed it in 2023.
The No. 2 quarterback in the 2023 recruiting class out of Warren High School in Downey, California, as ranked by Rivals, Iamaleava signed a four-year deal with Tennessee and its Vols Club collective.
