Terrible Report: We lose everything as WR Bru McCoy, Nico Iamaleava and Joe Milton III face 5 games NFL Banned today due to……
Tennessee Vols fans are understandably excited about what the near future holds for the Tennessee football program after the start of the year. Freshman QB Nico Iamaleava accounted for four touchdowns in the Vols’ dominating 35-0 win over the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Citrus Bowl.
With one starting performance under his belt, UT fans are wondering just how high the ceiling is with their new QB – as well as how different he will look from what the Vols saw from Joe Milton III under center in 2023.
Someone who is familiar with both players – WR Bru McCoy – addressed that exact question on Wednesday afternoon during Tennessee’s Pro Day. The veteran receiver was speaking with SEC Network’s Chris Doering and talked about the similarities and differences between the two.
“I can say – I haven’t played with Nico yet. From watching Nico, he’s really good on his feet. He’s really good at extending plays. He obviously doesn’t have the same arm strength as Joe, but where I think Nico makes up for that is his ability to run. Not that Joe didn’t run. I would say there’s a lot more similarities than differences, but ultimately both of them are studs, and I’m blessed as a receiver to get the chance to play with both of them.
