    The surprise name that entered the spring transfer portal was Tennessee Volunteers quarterback Nico Iamaleava. Iamaleava decided to leave Tennessee, where he helped lead the team to a 10-2 regular season record and a College Football Playoff berth last year.

    The Utah quarterback room for this spring and fall will have a drastically new look. One big change is that Cam Rising will not be on the roster for the first time since the spring of 2019. Head coach Kyle Whittingham announced this winter that Rising is not on the roster. "We've certainly had communication and you don't see him on the roster right now," Whittingham said.
