UCLA will kick off its 2025 football season on Aug. 30 versus Utah at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. The Bruins will have Nico Iamaleava at quarterback in 2025, according to Colin Cowherd, after transferring from Tennessee.
The 6-foot-6, 220-pound redshirt sophomore quarterback entered the NCAA transfer portal on Wednesday, the first day of the spring window.
Tino Sunseri enters his first season as UCLA’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He served as a quality control assistant for the Vols in 2018 under then-head coach Jeremy Pruitt.
After departing Tennessee, Sunseri served as a graduate assistant at Alabama (2019-20), quarterbacks coach at James Madison (2021-23) and co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Indiana in 2024. He won a national championship at Alabama in 2020 and appeared in the College Football Playoff with the Hoosiers last season.
Sunseri played quarterback at Pittsburgh from 2008-12. His father, Sal Sunseri, served as Tennessee’s defensive coordinator in 2012 under then-head coach Derek Dooley.
