Navy senior offensive tackle Adam Amosa-Tagovailoa and Notre Dame sophomore defensive lineman Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa are brothers despite the fact their last names are flipped.
Adam and Myron are the sons of Tulileie and Saipeti Amosa, who reside in Ewa Beach, Hawaii. Their mother’s maiden name is Tagovailoa.
Adam was born with the last name Amosa while Myron was born with the last name Tagolvailoa-Amosa. That is because their mother’s father, High Chief Seu Tagovailoa, wanted one of his grandsons to hold the family name.
When High Chief Seu Tagovailoa died, Saipeti Amosa decided she wanted all of her children to hold their grandfather’s name.
