No. 24 Tennessee has decided on its new starting quarterback. Joey Aguilar, who transferred in from UCLA following the departure of Nico Iamaleava, will lead the offense onto the field when the Vols open their season against Syracuse in Atlanta on Aug. 30, the program announced.

Joey Aguilar is half of college football’s wildest flip-flops. The quarterback left UCLA for Tennessee after Nico Iamaleava departed the Volunteers in April for the Bruins.

The Nico Iamaleava NIL escapade at Tennessee ended up in, basically, a trade. Iamaleava left the program over a monetary dispute. He transferred to UCLA. And Aguilar transferred from UCLA to Tennessee.
