tagovailoa, whos the younger brother of alabama quarterback tua tagovailoa, said vols offensive coordinator tyson helton worked with him on some things that he originally picked up from former nfl coach june jones in hawaii. i mean, theyre great coaches, the younger tagovailoa said of the vols staff. theyre awesome people, and i learned a lot with my drops and a lot of those things. I mean, with coach helton, i learned a lot of those things with coach jones, so it was kind of good getting back into those types of things.
he said he also had a lot of time to talk with tennessees coaches, but it was more about, like, catching up and stuff rather than going in-depth on his recruitment.i got to work with jg, so that was awesome, tagovailoa added, referring to tennessee quarterback jarrett guarantano. that was cool.
i guess you could say i always had interest in tennessee, he said. theyre just good people. My family likes coach helton and them. I guess you could say i have a lot of interest in tennessee. last week, tagovailoa told garcia that he plans to take an official visit to tennessee. After his weekend trip to knoxville, he said he still plans to see the vols again, and an official visit to tennessee in the coming months remains a possibility.
yeah, for sure, he said, adding that he doesnt know when he might visit the vols again. i think thats just something me and my family will have to talk about. he also expressed interest last week in visiting lsu, but he said hes not sure exactly when he might visit the tigers. its up to my dad, tagovailoa said. whatever my dad wants to do.
