Just like that, the Bruins added a top-20 quarterback in all of college football, at least in 247Sports’ Brad Crawford’s eyes anyway.
Crawford ranked Iamaleava No. 19 on his list of top 50 quarterbacks in college football.
“Despite the ground-game focus, Iamaleava helped guide Tennessee to a playoff berth after finishing with 2,616 yards passing, 19 touchdowns and another 358 yards with three touchdowns on the ground,” Crawford wrote.
Here’s who was ahead of Iamaleava:
18. Dylan Raiola, Nebraska
17. Kevin Jennings, SMU
16. Julian Sayin, Ohio State
15. Blake Horvath, Navy
14. Fernando Mendoza, Indiana
13. Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt
12. Luke Altmyer, Illinois
11. Rocco Becht, Iowa State
10. John Mateer, Oklahoma
9. Sawyer Robertson, Baylor
8. Carson Beck, Miami
7. DJ Lagway, Florida
6. Drew Allar, Penn State
5. Lanorris Sellers, South Carolina
4. Sam Leavitt, Arizona State
3. Arch Manning, Texas
2. Garrett Nussmeier, LSU
1. Cade Klubnik, Clemson
UCLA’s previously expected QB1 for next season, Joey Aguilar, who transferred to Tennessee, was ranked 50
