Tua Tagovailoa’s Young Brother Taulia Hits Headlines Amidst NCAA Dilemma

We all know how great a performer Tua Tagovailoa is! And that’s why he has been listed under the quarterback roster of the Pro Bowl games this season. Meanwhile, his brother, Taulia Tagovailoa, is making headlines via his massive records and the NCAA transfer portal.

Taulia Tagovailoa has played college football for five seasons. But it seems that he yearns for more. The latest update on his “extra eligibility” is circulating online. So will he be given? Let’s delve into the whole matter!

Taulia Tagovailoa waiting for his waiver!

Tua’s younger brother, Taulia, has entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer. He has already played his five seasons of college football and has used the extra eligibility granted by the NCAA because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Maryland quarterback, who was a part of the 2019 recruiting class, began his career in Alabama before transferring to Maryland in 2020. Soon after coming to Maryland, he became the starting quarterback and played 37 games over the next three seasons.

In 2023, Tagovailoa had “290-of-437 passing for 3,377 yards and 25 TDs with 11 interceptions.” Tagovailoa’s waiver case for a sixth season is based on his freshman year at Alabama in 2019, where he played in five games. However, he wished that he hadn’t played in the fourth game due to his brother’s season-ending hip injury. Therefore, he has filed for a waiver for an extra year of eligibility, and if granted, he will likely be sought after by Power Five Programs, which look for experienced starters.

Besides all these, just like Tua, Taulia has been winning the hearts of his fans with his massive records, one being surpassing a legend.

The season finale turned out to be historic for Taulia Tagovailoa!

In Maryland’s season finale, Miami Dolphins quarterback’s brother, Taulia Tagovailoa, achieved a significant milestone by surpassing Purdue’s Curtis Painter. He became the Big Ten’s all-time passing yards leader, creating NCAA history.

Starting the game 269 yards away from the record, he reached it in the first half, going 16 of 20 for 298 passing yards. This accomplishment adds to Tagovailoa’s impressive college career, where he emerged from a freshman backup to his brother Tua to become a Maryland legend.
