Alabama sophomore quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa, the younger brother of former Alabama star Tua Tagovailoa, has entered the transfer portal.
Matt Zenitz of AL.com first reported and several other sources have confirmed that Taulia is indeed planning on transferring from the Crimson Tide.
Taulia was a 4-star recruit in the 2019 recruiting class and was ranked as the No. 5 pro-style QB and the No. 180 overall recruit. He appeared in 5 games last season, but when his older brother Tua went down with a nasty hip injury, it was Mac Jones who came in to take over for Alabama. Jones returns in 2020 as a junior, and Bama added Bryce Young, a 5-star prospect from California. Young was the No. 1 QB and the No. 2 player overall in the 2020 recruiting class.
Georgia is scheduled to visit Tuscaloosa on Sept. 19 and will most likely see either Jones or Young at quarterback for Alabama.
Regardless of who is Bama’s signal caller in the fall, Georgia will be bringing one of the best defenses in the country to Saban’s turf for a top-10 match-up.
