Tennessee Volunteers News: Big additions to Tennessee football and the latest from Knoxville

The latest Volunteers roundup features a new incoming transfer for Tennessee football, No. 1 recruit Nico Iamaleava showcasing his skills, and a flashback to a few years ago when the Volunteers football dynasty began.

BYU DB transfer Gabe Jeudy-Lally has officially committed to Tennessee

The defensive back out of Austin, Texas announced on Thursday that he will be transferring to Tennessee. The 6-foot-2-inch lockdown cornerback finished the season for the Cougars last year with 30 tackles and 6 pass deflections and has tallied over 100 tackles in his career. Gabe is going to be a huge addition to the Tennessee football secondary and should be able to make an immediate impact on the field.

5-star recruit and No. 1 overall 2023 football recruit, Nico Iamaleava, demonstrated some elite arm power, and accuracy in a recent social media post.

On3 sports had the following to say about Nico in a recent article:

"“Has one of the strongest arms in the cycle, generating considerable velocity on his throws in camp settings and on Friday nights. Tall with a slender build at round 6-foot-6, 195 pounds with a 10-inch hand. Has considerable room to fill out. Boasts a whippy throwing motion despite his longer arms. Effortlessly drives the ball downfield while targeting vertical routes.”"

The 5-star has been all over the internet showing why he is the best in his class, and Volunteer fans are excited to see him in real action during spring camp.
