Nick Saban knew there was something more special about Tua Tagovailoa than just his impressive mind and throwing ability. He was the first recruit he remembers going to church with him every time he was in Tuscaloosa. Saban, a devout Catholic, knew that if he signed this young man, he wouldn’t have to worry what he was doing at 2am in the morning and that he would be a natural leader others would gravitate to and want to emulate.
Saban had already heard stories of how this young man and his entire family were deeply rooted in Evangelistic Christianity.
