I know what it feels like to have plenty, and I know what it feels like to have nothing.. I know what it feels like to win and I know what it feels like to lose.. Grateful for the opportunity to have played with a bunch of great guys from this years 2018 team. We’ll be back. #shakeback

He had a monster sophomore season and one that witnessed him become the fourth 3,000-yard passer under Nick Saban (3,966), a Heisman Trophy finalist and a consensus All-American. 

Tagovailoa set a multitude of school records in 2018 – including most passing yards in a single-season and most touchdown responsible for in a season (48). With all of his receivers returning and more offensive talent coming in, the native Hawaiian is not going away any time soon.
