Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel has shared that backup quarterback Nico Iamaleava remains in good health and available for action. However, Heupel’s primary focus for Iamaleava is his development, and while he has seen some action in limited roles, Joe Milton remains the starting quarterback. Iamaleava, a highly touted freshman, will continue to serve as the backup while Tennessee maintains its offensive strategy and prepares for potential future starts or increased playing time as he progresses within the system.
Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel confirmed that Nico Iamaleava, who was taken out of the Mississippi State game as a precaution, is expected to play against Georgia this Saturday. Heupel noted that Iamaleava practiced with the team on Monday and should be in good shape for the matchup. This is a crucial game for both Tennessee and Georgia, as Georgia, coming off a loss to Ole Miss, faces potential elimination from playoff contention. College Gameday will also be covering the high-stakes SEC game in Athens.
