It was huge news when the UCLA Bruins football team signed four-star quarterback Madden Iamaleava. The Downey California, class of 2025 signal caller from Warren High School signed with the Bruins on May 25th, 2024. He is ranked 7th in his position and will be a bright spot for the recruiting class of 2025. He was offered from dozens of other College Football teams before signing with the Bruins.
Now, Iamaleava is part of a group of high school football athletes who have signed NIL deals. They have struck a deal with Adidas and dubbed them the
“AdiZero 7 class”. Other guys along with Iamaleava include Tyler Atkinson, Vernell Brown III and Winston Watkins.
