2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Tennessee offense under head coach Josh Huepel has become a bankable asset for fantasy production, especially from the quarterback spot. It helped Hendon Hooker go from an afterthought of a transfer from Virginia Tech to Heisman frontrunner at one point. Now, the keys have been turned over to Iamaleava, the No.2 overall recruit in the class of 2023. In his lone start as a freshman in the bowl game against Iowa, he went 12-for-19 for 151 yards and a touchdown and added three scores on the ground. Iamaleava is the most talented quarterback to come through Knoxville in some time, and with the Heupel offense in place, this first-year starter should be one of the top fantasy producers at his position.

Slated to transfer to UCLA
Iamaleava is expected to transfer to UCLA, per Stewart Mandel of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Iamaleava had a highly publicized divorce from Tennessee, where the Volunteers essentially called his bluff on what the quarterback turned into a contract-based holdout of spring practice. The gunslinger hit the portal with a no-contact tag as soon as it opened Wednesday, and has reportedly already found his destination. The Bruins have two experienced quarterbacks on their roster in Ethan Garbers, who started last fall, and Joey Aguilar, who transferred in from Appalachian State this offseason. Still, Iamaleava becomes the immediate favorite to start in Westwood for his junior season. He tossed for 2,616 yards, 19 touchdowns and five interceptions while completing 63.8 percent of his passes last season in Knoxville. He also added 364 yards and three scores on the ground.
