Tua Tagovailoa may have played his final game at Alabama, but the quarterback is still a member of the Crimson Tide family.
That’s evident based on what Tagovailoa shared on Friday. After undergoing season-ending hip surgery, Tagovailoa has received tons of letters and mail from fans, which he shared a picture of on his Instagram story:
Tagovailoa suffered the hip injury in Alabama’s game against Mississippi State last Saturday. He had also previously been dealing with an ankle injury, which caused him to miss the Crimson Tide’s game against Arkansas.
It’s possible that Tagovailoa’s college career is over, as he’s heavily expected to enter the 2020 NFL draft and begin his pro career.
Without Tagovailoa, Alabama will look to keep its strong season going on Saturday, when it hosts Western Carolina at noon ET on ESPN.
