right now all my old subscribers whad up I'm about to drop that 1k
special on you guys head now who was Alabama's quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa he was born in Hawaii March 2nd of 1998 now in his early years
starting in the first grade he's naturally right-handed naturally
right-handed does everything with his right hand but he could not throw the
football so what happened his father actually changed his throwing hand from
his right to his left and ever since the first grade
Toula has been throwing left-handed and he does everything else what's right oh
that's crazy but if it works hey what can I say we taught you how to throw
what okay so I was righty at first you're right-handed yeah is right-handed
until we switched me to become left handed what did I have left the first grade now
early on and Pop Warner they said that Tua could throw for 30 yards when the
average kid was only throwing 10 yards at his age
so they knew he knew he was gonna be a quarterback he used to sleep with the
ball under his pillow when he was coming up his mother used al he's asleep with a
football so they already knew this is what he wanted to do plus it ran in his
blood because his father used to play junior college but he had to go back to
Hawaii because he had to support the family you know how it is is it's not
green on the other side for everybody but you know family first so he had to
get back to Hawaii and support his family now throughout through all of this Tua
was still playing football right and his grandfather used to tell them hey Tua
if you want to take this seriously you need to come report to me after
every single football game every single football game so what Tua used to do he's
to go out perform and then it don't matter what time of day he either had to
call his grandfather or he had to go over there and actually tell him you I
did this this now he kept him on his toes so this this was like very very big
on Tua and it helped him and it motivated him to want to play football even more
knowing that he had his grandfather and his corner because most for the majority
of the time his father used to work and support the family so in the summer of
2014 his grandfather did pass away and this
was big on you know Tua's heart his football career and there was points in
his career when he was just like man he was about to give up after his
grandfather died he he was about to give up because that was like everything that
was the guy he used to play yo you know pop come after game up to a hundred
yards at the 200 yards now I'm throwing this I'm throwing touchdowns in and then
he's gone so that weighed on him for a minute
and he actually considered quitting football yeah but yeah he said that he
had a conversation with his father so his father like
motivated him to come back right so he was like look you're gonna keep playing
football you're good at it and you know we're gonna honor your
grandfather by continuing to play high school football so ii was with it you
know he kept doing it and as he was growing up he found another mentor and
Marcus Maroita yes Marcus Mariota Tennessee
Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota is also from Hawaii and played out there
not necessarily the same school but he also played out there in Hawaii so
throughout his arm high school career at Saint Louis school he actually broke the
passing record for quarterbacks he threw over 8,000 yards and he had 84 passing
touchdowns to go along with 1027 rushing yards and 24 rushing TDs he was rated
the number one quarterback in the class so he had a ton of offers right one
being his dream school LS not LSU I'm sorry USC he wanted to go to USC his
whole life I don't know what it is I was searching the internet for I'm trying to
figure out why do you want to go to USC so much he just loved that school he
loved everything about it but until and to one man hit him up Alabama
now when Alabama called him his family went out there to visit right his mother
said look you're not going all the way out to Alabama to play for them that far
away from home so they had to take take a trip and it was worth it because when
Tua got out there you can see from these images right here he got out there
he just loved it yeah rings oh he you know balling out with Kiffin and Saban
and all them you know they showing him around telling him basically putting him
on the culture and trying to recruit him so he just fell in love with Alabama so
his mother loved it they liked it and Kiffin was also a big part of tool
coming out there I don't know what it was about the guy but his mother
actually liked Kiffin it was like she felt comfortable leaving her son so if
it wasn't for mom duk being out there Alabama wouldn't be seeing Tua Tagovailoa
if it wasn't for mom duk I'm gonna be honest which mom said it was cool
it's cool so Tua is big on family let's just get
that straight he goes back he gives back he goes back to why he plays with the
kids in this video right here you can actually see him turning up with some
kids so he's big I mean he's a Christian he's down-to-earth he's a smooth guy
watched a couple of videos on the man he he's just like very humble so that those
are good qualities and he's determined he wants to win and all right so boom he
gets recruited by Alabama so he turns down the USC so USC you can blame his
on Alabama because he was headed to your school so he turned that down heads
out to Alabama and in his first game against Fresno State which was his
college debut he threw a touchdown in he has 64 yards so he really didn't get in
the games unless they were blowouts he didn't get in unless there were blowout
they wouldn't put him in so but the games he did get in he lit them up 100
yards 200 yards two touchdowns three touchdowns he was balling and we're
talking about he was backing up Jalen Hurts all right so that led up to him
actually becoming who he was he ended up getting a start in the state
championship game the NCAA Jalen Hurst wasn't performing well in the
first half and then Tua Tagovailoa gets in he gets in in the second half
everybody was like oh what is going on because I know I was at home like what
who was this dude but I was like kind of slick happy because I'm a Georgia fan
and I was rooting for them but the dude ended up throwing for 166 yards and
three touchdowns he only had one INT and in the crucial touchdown came in OT
which was the game-winner sealed and it first Samoan quarterback
to win a national championship first Samoan player recruited
by the Crimson Tide first the man is trending right now and let me
tell you the interesting fact before I I'll let this go I mean let me tell you
something this guy has a little brother and I believe his name is Tualia Tagovaila
now he plays in Alabama oh and his family they relocate Alabama too
so they they brung it down south but um they're about you know a hour out from him
but his little brother is actually ranked eighth in the class right now
he's a quarterback and he's dual threat just like Tua Tagovailoa so with that being
said when this guy comes out and he was already recruited by the University of
Alabama so by Tua being a freshman his brother
becoming a junior just imagine in two years from now it'd be two Tagovailoa's
there if he decides to not go to NFL which I think he plays more like Russell
Wilson in my 6'1 one 219 pounds dual threat you know guy cannon for an arm so
now if he gets there and Tua Tagovailoa is a senior what's gonna happen if his
brother comes in and he's a freshman sophomore and he just crushing Tua you
might go to the NFL bro they say little brother coming up if you new to this

you do not miss a video 1k special coming up tomorrow I'm a drop that guy
tomorrow peace
