There’s another Tagovailoa headed to Tuscaloosa.
Tua Tagovailoa’s brother, Taulia, officially announced his commitment to Alabama on Saturday at the school’s spring game, according to Rainer Sabin of AL.com.
Taulia Tagovailoa, a four-star pocket-passer quarterback in the 2019 recruiting class, turned down offers from the likes of Florida, Michigan, Tennessee, and Lane Kiffin’s Florida Atlantic.
“He and Tua are so very similar in the many ways you can see just watching them play,” Taulia Tagovailoa’s high school coach Mark Freeman said. “You see a lot of Tua in Taulia because of how they both play, the throws and decisions they make. I don’t know how anyone in the state could have done more for their team did Taulia did for us this year. He came in here and acted like he’d been here his whole life. The kids accepted him right away, and that is why we were so successful.”
Taulia will have some work to do to live up to the legend of his brother, who came off the bench to win the national title. He looks to be a legitimate prospect in his own right, though.
