Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa named Maxwell Award Player of the Week

More individual accolades have come to Tua Tagovailoa, following Alabama’s 47-23 win over South Carolina.

He was named Offensive Player of the Week via the Southeastern Conference on Monday, and the Maxwell Football Club announced the junior quarterback as its Maxwell Award Player of the Week.

The 6-foot-1, 218-pounder is coming off a career performance against the Gamecocks, where he became the first signal caller in Alabama football history to record 400-plus passing yards with five touchdowns in the same game. He completed 28 of 36 pass attempts for 444 yards with five scores and anchored an offense that ripped off 576 total yards last week.
