The story
Nico Iamaleava throws from a 6-foot-5 frame and turned into a real running threat in his first season away from Tennessee, jumping from 3.3 to 4.5 yards a carry after the move to UCLA. Draftanomics' model board has him at No. 76 overall for the 2027 class — 61 spots below the one public consensus board that's evaluated him, which slots him at No. 15.
