Brother of Miami Dolphins' Quarterback Denied College Ball for a Sixth Year - What's Next for Taulia Tagovailoa?

A new NFL prospect has emerged, capturing the attention of football enthusiasts everywhere. Taulia Tagovailoa, the younger brother of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, is making his way to the NFL after his hopes of playing a sixth collegiate season were dashed. Despite his efforts, his waiver request to continue playing college ball for another year was denied.

Tagovailoa, who spent four of his five college seasons at the University of Maryland, had intended to enter the transfer portal and potentially join another team for one final season. Unfortunately, his plans were cut short, and he now sets his sights on playing at the next level.

During his time at Maryland, Tagovailoa showcased his talents, throwing for an impressive 11,256 yards with 76 touchdowns and rushing for an additional 207 yards with 13 touchdowns. However, unlike his brother, Taulia is not expected to be a top prospect in this year's draft class. Standing at 5-foot-11, his height may be a point of contention for teams looking for a prototypical quarterback.

Despite the challenges he may face, shorter quarterbacks like Russell Wilson and Drew Brees have proven that height does not define success in the NFL. While Taulia's draft stock may not be as high as his counterparts, there is still a chance that a team will take a chance on him in the later rounds of the draft.

As football fans eagerly await the April draft, the spotlight remains on Taulia Tagovailoa. With his undeniable talent and determination, it will be interesting to see where his football journey takes him.
