It always stood as one of the top schools I was interested in, and it’s still there. And they might have a little edge over a couple other teams. It’s definitely up there,” said Iamaleava, who’s ranked by 247Sports as the No. 3 overall prospect and No. 3 quarterback in the 2023 class.
“I needed this visit. We were always going to make this happen. I told them I was going to get back up here the first time I came. It was good to get back up here a second time.
“It was definitely a great trip, and I look forward to getting back up here sometime during the spring.”
“I got to interact with the fans more this time, and I had a great time with the family,” Iamaleava said. “My mom got to come this time, my little sister, so it was good having them there. We got to catch a basketball game (Saturday). It was a cool experience. I’ve never seen a basketball stadium like that, so it’s just been a great experience overall.
“I think definitely the highlight would be the basketball crowd chanting what they chanted. It was a blessing, just to have crazy fans like that, and to do that in a big stadium like that was great. … But overall, man, I had a great time out here.”
Iamaleava also attended Tennessee’s softball games Friday and Sunday to see his cousin, Lady Vols sophomore infielder Zaida Puni, play in person.
“We’re close,” Iamaleava said of Puni. “We grew up together when we were younger — used to go to Dolphin Park a lot with each other. It’s down in Carson, California. It’s cool to see her at a school that I’m interested in. It’d definitely be huge, if I come here, to already have someone here.”
“I think officials, I’ll probably, definitely take them in the spring,” Iamaleava said. “I think I’m going to start taking them. Oregon, Tennessee, those two are in now, and I’m figuring out the other schools right now. I’m high on Miami. I definitely want to get back to Miami and see Coach (Mario) Cristobal and the staff. I never got to meet the new staff yet, so it’ll be great to meet the new staff.”
Iamaleava said he still intends to announce his college decision during the spring.
“I think that’s what we’re going for — May, probably,” he said.
