It has been broad knowledge that Tagovailoa had his eyes set on USC before coming to Alabama. He even considered transferring there after the 2019 season. Ultimately, he stuck to his father’s wishes and won a national championship with the Tide.
He’s also become a top-notch NFL QB. Tagovailoa has really blossomed his 3rd year in the NFL, has become more accurate as a passer and has led the Miami Dolphins to an 8-4 start to their season with 5 games to play.
