Florida Atlantic Owls

Now, it would be odd to see the former four-star quarterback go from a perennial powerhouse program like Alabama to a second-tier program like Florida Atlantic.

But would it really be that shocking? Probably not.

Former Florida State throwaway Willie Taggart will definitely make a strong move to go after Taulia.

Taggart already possesses a strong unit of quarterbacks and Florida Atlantic expects Chris Robison to lead the way in 2020, but those plans should be dismissed if the Owls’ coach can manage to snag Tagovailoa.

In his favor, Boca Raton sits just under an hour from Miami and the path for Taulia to be the starting quarterback is crystal clear.

Make no mistake about it, Taggart will have to work some magic and pull some long strings to make this work.

But if he can, the Owls’ 2020 roster will get that much better with Tagovailoa at the helm.
