With the exit of quarterback Nico Iamaleava, Tennessee will roll with UCLA transfer Joey Aguilar, redshirt freshman Jake Merklinger and true freshmen George MacIntyre as it’s quarterbacks, with a starter to be determined.
So, through our website poll question below, we’d like to know how you currently feel about Tennessee’s quarterback position. Are you nervous and believe they won’t be as good? Are you excited that one of those guys will upgrade the QB play? Or, do you think it will end up being about the same?
In 2024, Nico was 213 of 334 passing (63.8%) for 2,616 yards (202.2 per game) with 19 TDs and 5 INTs. He also rushed for 358 yards after sack yardage was removed at 3.3 yards per and 3 rushing touchdowns.
