Tua Tagovailoa, younger brother discuss possible 2019 Alabama QB battle

Still a year from reality, the idea of an intra-family quarterback competition is starting to set in for the Tagovailoas.

Sitting down with AL.com recently on a trip back home to Hawaii, both rising sophomore Tua Tagovailoa and 2019 commit Taulia Tagovailoa had a few thoughts on how this whole situation could play out in the future.

Older brother, currently competing with two-year starter Jalen Hurts, remembers Taulia as his center when they were kids.

The senior-to-be at Thompson High School who committed to Alabama on A-Day said he had to lose significant weight to get into the shape required of a quarterback.
