The story
Nico Iamaleava is a 6-5 quarterback who did more damage with his legs than his arm this past season, running for 505 yards and four touchdowns on 112 carries while throwing for just 1,928 yards, 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions on 323 attempts after transferring from Tennessee to UCLA in the 2025 portal cycle. That profile sits at No. 163 on the Draftanomics career-value board for 2028, and with no consensus board on file yet, this is the model's lone read on him so far.
