Najee Harris becomes UA’s focal point offensively with Tagovailoa out

Upon becoming friends in the 2017 recruiting cycle, they did everything together.

Both came to the University of Alabama on a plane. The two would often face-time each other, prior to handing Nick Saban their verbal commitments. They were instrumental in the Crimson Tide’s run to a College Football Playoff National Championship as freshmen and in the aftermath of it, one decided to travel to the place that made the other’s culture unique.

Even with the love he has for his younger brother – Taulia Tagovailoa – and the trio of wide receivers signed with him, Najee Harris and Tua Tagovailoa have always been two closest players on the team.
