The UCLA coaching staff informed the team's current quarterbacks of the expected transfer of Tennessee's Nico Iamaleava to UCLA, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Sunday, a key step that shows the level of the discussions between the Bruins and the QB.

The UCLA football coaching staff has spoken to the team’s quarterbacks about the “expected transfer” addition of former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava, according to ESPN’sPete Thamel. Iamaleava has yet to announce his commitment to a new school after parting ways with the Tennessee Football program on April 11.

Weeks after Nico Iamaleava controversially left Tennessee, the quarterback has seemingly found a new home. While not yet official, all signs point to Iamaleava transferring to UCLA from the college football transfer portal.
