The now-former Volunteers quarterback had over $2 million coming his way from Tennessee this season before electing to enter the spring transfer portal in hopes of a bigger deal elsewhere.

Running back transfer Anthony Woods was a productive player at Idaho, rushing for totals of 2,027 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2022 and ’23. He transferred to Utah last offseason but was plagued by injury and didn’t carry the ball once for the Utes in ’24.

"I am told — moments ago — Nico Iamaleava is going to UCLA," Cowherd said. "Family still claims it’s not about the money, it's about the Vol football offense. I was not told what the Bruins are paying."
