Iamaleava is set to begin his first season as Tennessee’s full-time starting quarterback. He already has one start under his belt, having played against Iowa in the Citrus Bowl at the end of last season. The former five-star recruit has generated optimism about the Volunteers’ chances of making the playoffs this year, and if he lives up to expectations, they could certainly be in contention for one of the 12 playoff spots.
The Volunteers’ schedule is challenging, with away games at Oklahoma and Georgia, as well as a home game against Alabama. These matchups will give fans a good sense of how Iamaleava handles pressure in high-stakes situations this season.
