Tennessee and quarterback Nico Iamaleava are negotiating a new NIL deal ahead of the transfer portal opening April 16, On3’s Pete Nakos reported.
It’s unclear whether a breakdown in negotiations could lead Iamaleava to enter the portal, but the quarterback’s relationship with the program and head coach Josh Heupel reportedly remains strong.
The Volunteers hope to have a new deal in place ahead of Saturday’s spring game, Nakos added.
