There’s certainly a lot more attention being paid to UCLA due to the addition of former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava. Head coach DeShaun Foster doesn’t mind one bit. The Bruins leader realizes there will be more eyes on his program moving forward.

You want to play big-time ball. You want to have haters. You want all this stuff,” the coach says of adding the QB viewed as the transfer portal’s top player.

“UCLA coach DeShaun Foster noted today that QB Nico Iamaleava has to ‘finish first at Tennessee’ before joining the team this summer. To be eligible, transfers have to finish classes. The same goes for Joey Aguilar,” Chris Low wrote.
