CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young fell in love with the pass-happy offenses of the Pac-12 while growing up in California, so much so that he committed in July of 2018 to the University of Southern California, less than thirty minutes from his Pasadena home.
Then Tua Tagovailoa -- who will be on the opposite sideline for Sunday’s game between the Panthers and Miami Dolphins in South Florida (1 p.m. ET, CBS) -- burst onto the scene as Alabama's star quarterback.
The rest is history.
