Maryland football sent the sports world into a frenzy when Alabama transfer quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa announced he would be transferring to play under head coach Mike Locksley last Friday.
While he’s well known for being the younger brother of Tua, there’s a lot more to the Terps’ new quarterback. Here are five things you should know about Tagovailoa.
1. He started his football career as a center
When he first began playing football in elementary school, Tagovailoa played as his brother’s center. And when Tua moved on to high school, he transitioned into the starting quarterback for his middle school team at the suggestion of his uncle.
