Madden Iamaleava Flips to Arkansas: 4-Star QB with Elite Arm Talent Leaves UCLA
Madden Iamaleava is a 4-star high school quarterback (No. 143 in the 2025 ESPN 300) who recently flipped his commitment from UCLA to Arkansas, joining former teammate Jace Brown in a double-deal that reshaped the 2025 recruiting landscape[1][7]. His differentiator is elite arm strength and a 11.7 yards-per-attempt average in high school, posting 3,600 passing yards and 311 attempts with 63% completion[1][4]. As a two-sport standout who also plays volleyball, he brings exceptional hand-eye coordination and athletic versatility[8]. While not yet in college, his intensity and local California pedigree make him a high-upside prospect; however, he is no longer a fit for UCLA, having officially committed to Arkansas[1].
