Taulia Tagovailoa Says He Was Offered $1.5M to Transfer from Maryland by SEC Team

Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa, the brother of Miami Dolphins signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa, was offered "crazy money" to transfer to an unnamed SEC school ahead of the 2023 season.

Tagovailoa told reporters Thursday at Big Ten media day that an SEC school offered him $1.5 million to transfer but he declined the opportunity, per The Athletic's Audrey Snyder.

"It can be eye-opening, but I think for my situation—if I was in a different situation where maybe I didn't have a brother in the NFL or maybe my parents, it'd be a different situation," Tagovailoa said.
