Arkansas Razorbacks flip 4-star QB Madden Iamaleava from UCLA Bruins

Long Beach (Calif.) Warren four-star quarterback Madden Iamaleava has flipped his commitment from UCLA to Arkansas.

He had been committed to the home-state Bruins since May 25.

The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Iamaleava is the nation’s No. 306 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is the No. 24 quarterback in the class and the No. 26 recruit from the state of California.

He is the second quarterback to join Arkansas’ 2025 recruiting class. In-state three-star Grayson Wilson signed with the Razorbacks on Wednesday.

Earlier this fall, Iamaleava transferred from Downey (Calif.) Warren High to Long Beach Poly for the rest of his senior season. But after a lengthy review process, Iamaleava was denied athletic eligibility in all sports by the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern-Section.

Madden is the younger brother of Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava.
