Nebraska football continued its evaluation — and offers — of 2025 quarterbacks on Thursday, extending an offer to Warren (Calif.) four-star quarterback
Madden Iamaleava.
The 6-foot-3, 185-pound Iamaleava reported the offer following a conversation with Nebraska assistants Glenn Thomas and Marcus Satterfield.
Iamaleava is the younger brother of former five-star and current Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava, and has followed in his brother’s footsteps in terms of attention from power five programs.
The 2025 quarterback holds offers from Auburn, Cal, Colorado, Miami, Ole Miss, TCU, Tennessee and others.
247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Greg Biggins said the ceiling is very high for the 2025 quarterback.
“Iamaleava has had a strong junior season and showed he’s deserving of all the attention and early scholarships he received this off-season. Iamaleava didn’t start a game until this year after backing up his older brother Nico Iamaleava, who’s a freshman at Tennessee,” Biggins wrote in his evaluation. “Like his older brother, Iamaleava is a two-sport standout and a talented volleyball player but his future is definitely at quarterback. He has always had a strong arm but has made a nice jump in poise, accuracy and maturity. He shows dual-threat ability and although he doesn’t run a ton, he has very good pocket mobility and can extend plays. He’s a tough kid, highly competitive and as the game continues to slow down for him, he’ll make another big jump.”
The offer comes as Nebraska’s quarterback board for 2025 is in a bit of flux. Nebraska has offered St. Louis quarterback Dillon Duff and Pennsylvania quarterback Matt Zollers in recent weeks and long-time Husker quarterback target Alex Manske committed to Cockeye State on Thursday evening.
Iamaleava is a four-star prospect according to 247Sports, and holds an overall rating of 90 according to 247Sports, making him the No. 164 overall prospect and No. 11 quarterback in the 2025 class.
