In a surprise move to very few, Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa has entered his name in the transfer portal. Whose idea it was, we may never know. Regardless, it didnā€™t take spring practice to see that he was still number three on the depth chart despite the fact that his brother Tua Tagovailoa had left the building.

If there was a silver lining to the injury of Tua, it was a chance to see Mac Jones in non-mop up/non-cupcake duty. The rising redshirt junior established himself as the front-runner after his performances upon becoming the starter late in the 2019 season.

At that point, Taulia was the number two. Then, the nationā€™s top-ranked quarterback Bryce Young signed with the Tide in December. Without taking a snap, many observers anointed him as the No. 2 (or 1a) right on the spot. Young could have moved up a notch if not for cancellation of spring practice, and very well may do so in the very near future. With a two-way quarterback battle at top that did not include him, chances of ā€œLiaā€ seeing meaningful playing time at the Capstone diminished a considerable amount.

College choice blamed on dad. Fantastic.
