Where does QB Nico Iamaleava go now that he's left Tennessee?
We’re excited to announce we’ll be hosting Andy & Ari On3 LIVE from the Draft in Green Bay on Thursday, April 24 and Friday, April 25! We’ll be set up right outside the famous Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field at the Culver’s Great Wisconsin Tailgate. Born in Wisconsin, Culver’s is the home of the legendary ButterBurger, Fresh Frozen Custard and Wisconsin Cheese Curds—there’s no better representation of America’s Dairyland than that. We’ll have some very special guests throughout the Draft that you won’t want to miss, so stay tuned for more details and get ready for a weekend of fun, made fresh with our friends at Culver’s: https://go.culvers.com/culvers/sAkHCThank you to Gametime for sponsoring today's episode!

Now that quarterback Nico Iamaleava has left Tennessee, where might the former five-star recruit land? Some big-name schools got tossed around last week, but are any of them realistic? Is it possible Team Nico is still demanding too much money? The flip side of that is Tennessee’s next move. Volunteers coach Josh Heupel said during the spring game he was excited to see the two scholarship QBs on Tennessee’s roster. But will the Vols reach into the portal to take another? Meanwhile, there were spring games Saturday at major programs across the country. Ohio State, Notre Dame, Georgia, Alabama and Florida all wrapped spring practice. Perhaps the biggest news came from Gainesville, where Florida coach Billy Napier said QB D.J. Lagway will be throwing again in a few weeks.
