As first reported by VolQuest, Tennessee starting quarterback Joe Milton III has opted out of the Citrus Bowl, leaving blue-chip freshman quarterback Nico Iamaleava as their starter. Iamaleava was the No. 2 prospect in the 2023 cycle, according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Iamaleava has seen action in four contests this season but will get an extended run against one of the best defenses in college football.
The offseason is almost underway for Tennessee football. The Vols have concluded the regular season and are now focusing on roster construction for the 2023 season. Volunteer Country has fans covered with all the latest portal entries and NFL Draft declarations. The portal window is from December 4 until January 2. If players don’t transfer within that window, they must wait until May following spring practice to enter the transfer portal.
