He was one of eight quarterbacks recognized with the honor given by the Manning Award sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
Iamaleava, making his third career start against the Wolfpack in the Duke’s Mayo Classic, accounted for 276 yards of total offense and three touchdowns in Tennessee’s 51-10 victory.
He completed 16-of-21 passing attempts for 211 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Iamaleava also totaled 65 rushing yards and one touchdown on eight attempts.
He led the Vols to a victory over a ranked opponent for a second time in three starts. Week 23 marked the second game where Iamaleava recorded at least one passing touchdown and one rushing touchdown.
