In his inaugural start against the Iowa Hawkeyes, Iamaleava made a significant impact by contributing to four touchdowns, with three scored through his running abilities. While his prowess as a passer has long been recognized on the national stage, there is now a growing acknowledgment of his true strength: his ability to make plays outside of the typical structures of a play.
Heading into the 2024 season, Iamaleava emerges as one of the top contenders for the Heisman Trophy, though trailing behind several other SEC quarterbacks, particularly Carson Beck from Georgia and Quinn Ewers from Texas. To bolster Iamaleava’s support, the Vols’ coaching staff actively sought talent in the transfer portal. Securing commitments from Notre Dame tight end Holden Staes and Tulane wide receiver Chris Brazzell is anticipated to be a significant enhancement to the team’s offensive capabilities.
