Former Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa will declare for the 2024 NFL Draft after his waiver for a sixth year of eligibility was denied by the NCAA, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports first reported.
Tagovalioa contested that his freshman season (2019) at Alabama should not have counted towards his eligibility since he only played two snaps in his fifth game of the season, one more game than the maximum of four allowed to be able to redshirt.
In four seasons at Maryland, Tagovailoa broke nearly every statistical mark in program history and helped the Terps to three straight winning seasons.
