Tennessee will be in the hunt for a new quarterback following the 2022 season, after which Hendon Hooker figures to hear his name called in the 2023 NFL Draft.
A potential replacement? How about 5-star 2023 QB Nicholaus Iamaleava Jr. out of Downey, California?
On Sunday morning, Iamaleava posted a video praising Vol Nation and saying fans could be getting some good news soon:

Iamaleava notably did not officially commit, but this has to be seen as an encouraging sign on Rocky Top.
Per the 247Sports composite rankings, Iamaleava is the No. 7 overall player in the 2023 class, the No. 4 quarterback and the No. 2 overall recruit from the state of California.
