Tua Tagovailoa won Alabama’s starting quarterback battle, and that proved to be the right call in a Week 1 rout of Louisville in Orlando.

Tagovailoa showed his brilliance as a passer, and also contributed with his legs, compiling three total touchdowns.

He’s already drawing rave reviews, despite only playing one-and-a-half games of college football so far. As you can see in the clip below, ESPN college football analyst Dan Orlovsky joined “Get Up” this week and compared the young quarterback to a young LeBron James:

“I don’t want to go extreme, but I’m going extreme,” Orlovsky says. “Tua is college football’s version of LeBron 15 years ago. We’ve never seen anything like him — this truly dual-threat, and not a dual-threat from chaos; it’s a dual-threat from execution. When I watch Tua play, I get Reggie Bush feelings. Like, what truly crazy play is going to happen? … This kid is doing things at the quarterback position that we’ve never seen, at least in a really long time.”

Obviously, that’s some incredibly high praise for Tagovailoa, but he’s shown nothing but good things in his time at quarterback. Look for that to continue this weekend against Arkansas State.
