Tennessee is moving on from starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava, ending a high-stakes standoff that had engulfed the program just days before the spring transfer portal window opens, sources confirmed to CBS Sports.

Tennessee is moving on from starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava, with sources telling ESPN that his decision to skip Friday's practice was a tipping point.

Quarterback Nico Iamaleava was not at Tennessee 's Orange and White game Saturday and is no longer on the roster. It appears Iamaleava is headed toward the transfer portal that opens Wednesday, as coach Josh Heupel had a short answer before the spring game about the past 48 hours.
