Urban Meyer is high on the Vols in 2025.

A dark horse national champion? That’s what he said on The Triple Option.

Meyer loves Nico Iamaleava.

"Nico, the quarterback at Tennessee, I have them [as a dark horse to win it all]," he said. "I remember when I first started studying them last year, I called Brady Quinn and Matt Leinart and said, 'What am I missing here? This guy looks like Aaron Rodgers'. The ball comes out of his hand like a tennis ball."

Aaron Rodgers. Nice. I think we’d all take that.

Meyer went on to mention some of the inconsistencies from 2024 but said if Nico continues to grow as a quarterback then Tennessee’s got a chance to do big things in ‘25.

“His physical ability, his size, speed, athleticism … and the ball comes out [good] … I saw him as a high first-round draft pick.”
