Former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava has committed to UCLA after leaving the Volunteers as a result of a reported NIL pay dispute. Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz previously relayed the news.

ESPN's Chris Low reported Monday that new Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar is joining the Volunteers on a NIL deal worth roughly $1.2 million. That's half of what Tennessee was set to pay former signal-caller Nico Iamaleava.

The drama began nearly two weeks ago when Iamaleava was reported to have been looking to restructure his NIL deal with Tennessee’s collective, seeking a number in the $4 million per year range. Iamaleava had been signed to a four-year, $8 million contract.
