Nearly two weeks have passed since Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel announced Nico Iamaleava would not return to the Volunteers next season. 

Shortly after the announcement, the quarterback revealed he was transferring to UCLA for the 2025 season. 

The new Bruins quarterback now appears to have a potential backup he's familiar with.

Madden Iamaleava, Nico's brother, is also reportedly heading to Los Angeles. On3 reported the younger Iamaleava intends to switch his commitment from Arkansas to UCLA.

UCLA QUARTERBACK JOEY AGUILAR TRANSFERS TO TENNESSEE AFTER NICO IAMALEAVA'S MOVE FROM VOLS TO BRUINS: REPORT

Nico was slotted by 247 Sports at No. 22 among 2025 high school quarterbacks as a four-star recruit. But Iamaleava's decision against suiting up for Arkansas could have serious ramifications.

According to Front Office Sports, Arkanas' name, image and likeness (NIL) collective issued a pair of demand letters to players requesting the fulfillment of buyout clauses.

"Arkansas’s NIL collective has sent two demand letters to players asking to fulfill buyout clauses, source tells Front Office Sports," a reporter from the outlet wrote on X. "The AD’s comments yesterday were referring to multiple players who left before NIL contracts expired, including Madden Iamaleava."

Arkansas is seeking an estimated $200,000 from Madden Iamaleava, according to the report. 

Heupel said Nico's decision to skip practice during his name, image and likeness (NIL) contract negotiations with Tennessee led to the split. 

Nico Iamaleava was making $2.4 million on an NIL contract. But when he signed it, it was reported to be worth an estimated $8 million. Iamaleava received the initial payment when he was still enrolled in high school. ESPN reported the total value of the deal could have reached nearly $10 million.

Iamaleava finished the 2024 season with the Volunteers with 2,616 passing yards and 19 touchdowns against five interceptions.

UCLA finished the 2024 campaign with a disappointing 5-7 record after the Bruins' first season in the Big Ten Conference.

Nice try, Philadelphia Eagles, but Michael Strahan wasn’t too fond of the surprise gift sent his way on "Good Morning America."

With the 2025 NFL Draft kicking off in Green Bay Thursday night, the ABC morning show host was jokingly given a green Eagles jersey with the No. 25 and his last name. 

"Good Morning America" will welcome a few Eagles in studio Friday to promote the team’s Autism Foundation, prompting the gag gift for the New York Giants great.

Strahan held the jersey up to the camera for everyone at home to see, and what he did next wasn’t shocking.

"All I can say is, you wish," he shouted before tossing the jersey to the floor. 

EX-EAGLES STAR CJ GARDNER-JOHNSON ‘STILL SHOCKED’ BY TRADE DECISION AFTER SUPER BOWL LIX VICTORY

While Giants fans will like this move from Strahan, they weren’t too happy with his Fox story leading into February's Super Bowl, which the Eagles won over the Kansas City Chiefs. 

Strahan was doing a segment with Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley, who he knows well from Barkley's time with the Giants. 

At the end of the interview, Strahan waved an Eagles flag and performed the famous "Fly Eagles, Fly" chant alongside Barkley. 

This prompted backlash against Strahan, including from former teammate Amani Toomer, who called it a "shot across the bow" toward the organization.

Strahan is a Giants legend with a franchise-record 141½ sacks. He also shares the NFL’s single-season sack record at 22½ with Pittsburgh Steelers star T.J. Watt. 

Strahan was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014. Two years later, he joined the "Good Morning America" team as a co-anchor, and he’s still heavily involved in the NFL with his role at Fox.
