The Hawaiian connection of Tua Tagovailoa and McKenzie Milton

In Hawaii, residents often use the term "coconut wireless" to describe all the ways they are connected. In the case of Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and UCF QB McKenzie Milton, it fits perfectly.

Oahu is not a big island, and there are only so many sports opportunities, especially for those with their eyes on big-time college football. It is no coincidence that Tagovailoa and Milton played on the same youth football team for a year, then attended the same weekend camps, and worked with the same coaches, even though they went to different high schools.
