Tennessee WR Bru McCoy makes statement about QB Nico Iamaleava that will get Vols fans fired up
Tennessee Vols redshirt senior wide receiver left no doubt this week that he views redshirt freshman quarterback Nico Iamaleava as an elite leader.
Iamaleava doesn’t come across as “fiery” on the sideline — he’s not going to be doing any Baker Mayfield impressions out there. Instead, he leads in his own way, by being accountable while continuing to take a step forward in his vocal leadership.
McCoy was asked earlier this week by a reporter about Iamaleava’s leadership style and how he’s grown as a leader during his first two seasons at Tennessee. The veteran wide receiver pointed out that Iamaleava’s willingness to hold himself accountable — even when something wasn’t necessarily Iamaleava’s fault — makes McCoy (and other players) want to play even harder.
