Texas Football: Mike Yurcich has past ties to transfer QB Taulia Tagovailoa

The NCAA Transfer Portal has brought drama to the college football landscape at the quarterback position yet again. And the Texas football program is in a position to take advantage of that drama. Former four-star recruit and Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa put his name in the transfer portal and should immediately become one of the most highly sought after at his position on the open market.

Entering the 2020 season, Tagovailoa will be in just his redshirt freshman year so he’s still got a lot of eligibility remaining. This means that the Texas Longhorns football program could try and snag him out of the transfer portal to compete for a starting spot once the time for rising senior star quarterback Sam Ehlinger has his eligibility up in college.
