It was not overly surprising, but huge news nonetheless hit Alabama football on Friday.
Taulia Tagovailoa, younger brother of Tua Tagovailoa, entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal. A four-star quarterback from Thompson High School in Alabaster, Ala., he was a highly-touted prospect and an intense competitor. After watching his brother rescue Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide to a College Football Playoff National Championship in the 2017 season, fans were very excited to see what the younger Tagovailoa would bring to the table in Tuscaloosa.
An injury to Tua versus Tennessee last year led to Taulia not getting redshirted.
