Two years after Blake Barnett won the Elite 11 MVP while Calvin Ridley won the Opening MVP, another Alabama commitment, Tua Tagovailoa, sauntered into the mix and won both with one fell swoop. If I'm doing the math correctly, that means Alabama commits have won four of the last six The Opening and Elite 11 MVP awards. Now THAT is some star power on offense.
Tagovailoa is one of the top-ranked QBs in the recruiting class of 2017, and, after this spectacular performance, I would not be surprised to see him climb even further up the recruiting boards to become a 5-star prospect.
