the four-star rising senior quarterback from thompson high school in alabaster, ala., told 247sports' john garcia jr. On thursday that he's scheduled to travel to tennessee on friday for his second visit with the vols this year. The 5-foot-11, 203-pound tagovailoa, who's the younger brother of alabama quarterback tua tagovailoa, also visited tennessee in february to attend one of its junior days. He has remained one of the vols' top quarterback targets in the 2019 class even since he committed to alabama on april 21.

The younger tagovailoa told garcia at a 7-on-7 event thursday at auburn that he has stayed in contact with first-year tennessee coach jeremy pruitt's staff, and he still likes the vols despite his commitment to the crimson tide.

In late march, just a few weeks before he announced his commitment to alabama, tagovailoa said he had built a "really strong" relationship with pruitt, who previously served as alabama's defensive coordinator. "it’s a guy that my parents are comfortable with and they really trust," tagovailoa said of pruitt. "that’s a big thing for us, and i really like coach."

he also said in late march that he hadn't forgotten “the hospitality” he received at tennessee during his trip to knoxville in february, and he enjoyed the time he spent with pruitt, offensive coordinator tyson helton, tight ends coach brian niedermeyer and other members of the vols’ staff. “i loved it,” tagovailoa said at the time. “tennessee is nice. I know coach tyson helton and i know coach pruitt, coach niedermeyer and all those guys. It just felt like family over there.”

Until we can run/pass block on anyone...even a Div 3 team, consistently. We'll need a WR playin QB. Or someone 6'7" with windshield wipers on his helmet.

Follow up on Tagovailoa

Yes, he's the quarterback I've been hinting about for the last month or so.

Tennessee has quietly continued to recruit Taulia Tagovailoa hard, even after he committed to Alabama. The feedback has been positive, too. The family likes UT's staff and obviously the path to the field is much clearer with the Vols. Taulia has also been in communication with various UT commits.

As has been reported elsewhere, Tagovailoa is set to return to Knoxville tonight. Alabama is trying to get him back on campus this weekend. Will plans change now that everything has been made public? We'll see what all unfolds over the next 24 hours.

And if he visits we have a legit shot at flipping him. 🙏

JMO but don’t expect to hear anything if he does flip. He won’t want to feel the pressure and deal with all that comes with it bc it’s a LONG way til signing day. If it happens, I say it happens silently, and then is a signing day surprise.

We aren't too far and we have a lot of guys on staff they are comfortable with. Pruitt, neid and Weinke. I assume Weinke worked with Tua quite a bit. I think Helton knows them from Tua recruiting too

I hope not as well. I hope he shouts it from the top of Neyland. Just seems that everyone was shocked when he committed to Bama because all indications were he wanted to pave his own path. At this point, I just hope he breaks the mold and flips. If he is a signing day “BOOM” then great. If he starts a summer dominoe effect of elite talent jumping in the boat; even better.
