Nico Iamaleava’s first few possessions of the Orange & White were mostly uneventful as the Vols didn’t score on his first three drives.
The five-star freshman didn’t do anything to stand out positively or negatively and didn’t take any deep shots down the field. But things changed on Iamaleava’s fourth possession when the early enrollee led Orange team on a 9 play, 75 yard touchdown drive.

The four-star freshman Davis has been impressive for Tennessee football and that continued in the spring game as he caught three passes for 53 yards. The Atlanta native did exit the game in the fourth quarter with an injury, walking to the locker room holding his shoulder.
