Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa to make NFL draft decision on January 6th

One of the biggest wild-cards in the 2020 NFL draft class has made an announcement about his future, but only to set the stage for the real announcement.

Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will make his decision on Monday, January 6th as to whether to enter this year’s draft or return to school for another year.

One of the top quarterback prospects in college football, Tagovailoa was widely regarded as a potential No. 1 overall pick before a hip injury ended his 2019 season prematurely.

Even with the injury, many projections still had Tagovailoa as a likely top-10 pick, though with the caveat that his medical evaluations would be key to maintaining that high draft stock.

Instead of taking those question marks into the predraft process, Tagovailoa could opt to Tuscaloosa for one more year, where he would try to lead the Crimson Tide back to the College Football Playoff after a disappointing finish to the 2019 season.
