Nico Iamaleava entered the transfer portal over the weekend after holding out from Tennessee's practice on Friday. Iamaleava was in contract discussions with the Volunteers, looking to reportedly receive at least $4 million for the 2025 season from NIL after his previous deal was worth $8 million and meant to cover the entirety of his collegiate career.

Henry Garrity and Justin Fisher have both done some good things. It's good to see, with Cooper Flanagan being down, Eli being limited at times and Kevin being limited early in the spring, young guys continuing to step up. It's a reflection of the leadership and the depth in that room. I'm really pleased with that room."
