'25 CA QB Madden Iamaleava

[bigl3327]

I really hope so. I think he will fit in this offense better than Nico. He seems to be a lot quicker than Nico and I actually prefer the 6’2-6’3 QBs over the 6’6 guys. They’re usually more agile in the pocket and have a quicker release

Madden is 6'3" right now and still growing. He is a little thicker build than Nico, but it's possible that he ends up being 6'5" or so.

So…. He will suck if he’s 3 inches taller?

I wasn't the one that said they preferred 6'2"-6'3" QB's. You need to ask them your question.

You’re right, no offense to you. Just think it’s funny to think that if he gets taller he may not be as good

I find that to be an "interesting" take as well.

Man, how good Peyton would have been if he fit in that 6’2-6’3 range!

 

[volfan2022]

Madden is a good player. Will be interesting in him vs. MacIntyre in 2025.

Cutler Boley from KY is reclassifying to 2024 iirc.

Decaturville? Just wondering.

Yep, that’s where I grew up! I’ve moved away for school though. SMALL town lol

All dads my family is there. Just got back from there huntin. You probably know a lot of my family. And yes small town. Love it!!

I really like our chances to land Madden, I personally hope we do. He’s my #1 choice for 2025 QB, with all coaching and process that Big Nic (their Dad) did in managing and coaching Nico, they now have a blueprint and path for Madden. I fully expect Madden to be a blue chip QB, in 2025. Not to mention the character of that family and these kids.

It’s the easy choice for me.

George Macintyre is more polished as a QB and better prospect currently. Will be interesting to see who they pursue because George is pretty high on the Vols himself.

I’m not sure how this can be an easy choice already. Madden might turn out to be legit but his 2nd best offer currently is Pitt. Seeing as how Heup can go get any QB in the country, seems a bit premature.

Madden has been Nico's back up until now. This fall will be everyone's first chance to see him run an offense for a full season.

as is Cutter Boley, Tavien St. Clair and Antwann Hill Jr

It will be interesting to see if Boley stays in the 2025 class or reclassifies back to 2024. He reclassed to 2025 last year using the KHSAA rule that allowed interscholastic athletes in Kentucky to repeat a grade for athletic purposes due to Covid. A lot of kids took advantage of that, but several then chose to graduate "early" (which was actually on schedule), and enroll in college. The rule basically gave a lot of kids some flexibility. Unless it becomes legal in Kentucky for high school athletes to profit from NIL, I'd bet Boley is part of the 2024 class. He already has the scholarship offers, so no real reason to prolong his earning potential.

MacIntyre is going to be a good'n.

IS a good’n

Extremely polished and very athletic. Great basketball player as well

Agree, maybe following his brother wouldn't be best for him. Eli didn't follow Peyton for good reasons.

I think he wants to follow his brother currently. He loves the University and Knoxville. Of course, that's always subject to change.

 

[swampfoxfan]

Has he been forgotten?

I mean unless we all went to sleep and woke up in the future I'd assume him being a 2025 recruit has alot to do with why ur not hearing very much...

Well, there's that and then there's also the fact that he hasn't actually played a single high school game as the starting quarterback yet. That does seem to tamp down the hype a bit. The only reason we know about him already is because of Nico. That's not a knock on the kid's talent or potential. It's just a simple fact that as the backup QB, his playing time has been somewhat limited. My understanding is that he played a good bit in the second half of a number of games last year.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Maybe we don’t hear much because he hasn’t been on many unofficial visits to UT yet?

 

[LittleVol]

Has he been forgotten?

Nah.
Check back midseason this year

 

[bigl3327]

He has yet to be a starter and is racking up P5 offers. Definitely not forgotten.
