Heisman trophy in Good Ol’Rocky Top!

College football is better when Tennessee football is good. A couple of years ago we had Heisman contender Hendon Hooker in good Ol’Rocky top. Tennessee now has the biggest rising star in the country on their team, Nico Iamaleava.

Nico has been overshadowed coming out as the second Quarterback in a class with Arch Manning. That shadow should soon switch positions with Arch sitting behind Quinn for another year and Nico leading an SEC powerhouse in Tennessee.

Last year in their Bowl game against a great Iowa defense Nico got his first start where he made the Iowa boys look silly. Throwing for a touchdown and rushing for three more the 6’6 200 pound quarterback looked electric.

Tennessee has the weapons for this young man too, in star WR Squirrel White (contender for the coolest name in football). Transfer WR Chris Brazwell also arrives in Knoxville, who last year as a redshirt freshman at Tulane went for over 700 yards and 5 TDs.

I expect Nico to have a Caleb Williams effect on college football and be the most talked about name by the team this season ends. Expect Tennessee to have some big upsets and be huge contenders this year because of this guy.
