Alabama football has two preseason candidates for the Polynesian Award.
The honor, which the Polynesian Hall of Fame presents, goes to the most outstanding Polynesian college football player that epitomizes great ability and integrity. Tua Tagovailoa, a former Alabama quarterback, was the most recent Crimson Tide player to win the honor in 2018. He totaled 3,966 passing yards, 43 touchdown passes, and 48 total touchdowns.
Tagovailoa earned single-season school passing records and became a Heisman finalist.
Henry To’oto’o (linebacker) and Cameron Latu (tight end) are candidates for the Polynesian Award. To’oto’o, a linebacker, returned for his senior year.
