'College GameDay' Host Throws Shade at Rising Star Nico Iamaleava
“Nico Iamaleava, for those of you who might not know, was first approached when he was still in high school, and Tennessee came with an NIL deal,” Davis recalled. “… And he collected some money up front. He collected some money in the year that he did not play, and then had moments last season, but he didn’t have a great season by any stretch of the imagination, although he was certainly good, and he had some big moments.”
“He was a guy who was wildly talented, still growing, and you felt as if [there was] unlimited potential if he stayed on course,” the veteran CFB voice continued. “Yet, it has become apparent that there were other factors at play, and Nico either was not interested or did not quite have the internal strength to stand up to his circle and say, ‘This is not the way we’re going to do business.'”
