Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa is one of the most recognizable names in all of college football this year, dominating his competition en route to a trip to New York City for the Heisman Trophy ceremony.
However, fans in New York aren’t exactly familiar with the Alabama star. Though they may have seen him play, many are hopelessly lost when trying to pronounce his last name.
As you can see in the video below, not many people know how to say “Tagovailoa” on the streets of the Big Apple:

If Tagovailoa wins the Heisman on Saturday night, perhaps more people will pay attention to the pronunciation of his last name.
For now, though, he’ll have to settle for being the subject of funny videos like these.
