Gamecocks host Taulia Tagovailoa, brother of Tua Tagovailoa
March 25, 2018
On Saturday, 4-star quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa, the younger brother of Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, took his first recruiting trip to South Carolina.
Taulia, a 5-foot-11, 203-pound prospect from Thompson High School in Alabaster, Ala., spent part of the day with coach Will Muschamp and quarterbacks coach Dan Werner.View attachment 442
“I watched them practice and their practice is good,” Tagovailoa said. “They’re up-tempo and you can see the quarterbacks, they learn and feed off each other. The relationship with the quarterbacks is good and that’s a good thing, too.”
Contact with Werner has “been strong” since the Gamecocks offer, which came earlier this year.
“I talk to Coach Werner a lot. … I see what he did at Ole Miss and I really like it,” Taulia said.
Werner, of course, was a member of Alabama’s coaching staff in 2017, during Tua’s freshman season with the Tide.
“I’ve talked to Tua a lot and he said [Werner’s] really good,” Taulia said.
The No. 6-ranked pro-style quarterback in the Class of 2019 (247Sports composite) enjoyed the interaction he had with Werner on Saturday.
“We went into the film room with him and one thing he really made me understand is why they do this and why they do that, the reason why some quarterbacks are wrong and some are right,” Taulia said. “The whole thing is about them getting benefitted and getting to the NFL.”
A return visit is in the works. Taulia is thinking about taking an official visit in April, though he hasn’t settled on a weekend.
Along with the South Carolina offer, his list includes Alabama, Florida, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Tennessee and Utah.
As a junior, Taulia passed for 3,820 yards with 36 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. He also rushed for 155 yards and 5 touchdowns.
