Former Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton III will head on to the NFL Draft this offseason, a process that should be very interesting for him. He locked in a trip to the Reese’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, early in the process and has measured in at the event.
Milton is the second consecutive quarterback to accept an invitation to the Reese’s Senior Bowl under head coach Josh Heupel at Tennessee – previous starting quarterback Hendon Hooker attended and went through interviews with teams even though he wasn’t medically cleared to participate in on-field activities. The Detroit Lions selected Hooker with the No. 68 overall pick in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Draft experts have labeled Milton as a day-three pick, but he’s bound to impress at the NFL Combine. It’ll be interesting to watch him go through the process, as the athletic upside has always been there, and if we know anything about NFL evaluators, it’s that they love tools. Milton had a successful final season on Rocky Top and is now on his way to the professional level.

Tennessee football: Nico Iamaleava NIL that got Vols under investigation gets clarity
Tennessee continues to battle allegations brought forth by the NCAA.

Tennessee football’s Nico Iamaleava stands in front of NCAA logo amid NIL allegations, Donde Plowman provides a statement out of frame
The Tennessee football program is involved in alleged NIL violations, which prompted an NCAA investigation. University Chancellor Donde Plowman responded promptly to the allegations. However, a new development around freshman QB Nico Iamaleava’s NIL deal provides clarity on the situation.
The Volunteers QB has an NIL contract under question but it reportedly should not break NCAA guidelines
In early 2022, Nico Iamaleava entered into a contract agreement with Sprye Sports that involved a limited assignment of his NIL rights. The NCAA could be led to believe that Spyre somehow influenced Iamaleava to attend Tennessee.
However, a statement on behalf of Sprye clarified that their agreement was not designed to have any unfair influence:
“Nothing in [the] agreement constitutes any form of inducement to [the] athlete to enroll at any school and/or join any athletic team,” per lawyer Tom Mars. The agreement was reportedly fully consistent with NCAA NIL guidelines.
The NCAA’s guidelines have been under criticism. Namely, Tennessee Chancellor Donde Plowman said this about the organization’s navigation of the new era:

“The leaders of the intercollegiate athletics owe it to student-athletes and their families to establish clear rules and to act in their best interest,” Plowman said, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel. The university leader further claimed the NCAA’s “guidelines” on NIL were ambiguous and difficult to navigate.
All in all, the Tennessee football program and the athletics department continue to work with the NCAA as the investigation lingers.
