Former Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa has entered the NCAA transfer portal, and he told ESPN in a phone interview on Friday that he filed for a re-instatement waiver with the NCAA on Thursday for a sixth year of eligibility.

Tagovailoa played five seasons, including his freshman year at Alabama in 2019. He went on to become the Big Ten's all-time passing leader in the subsequent four years at Maryland, throwing for 11,256 yards. The 2020 season doesn't count toward eligibility because of rules that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, which would have left Tagovailoa another year if he'd redshirted in 2019.
