Why Did Tua Pick Alabama Over USC? You'll Have To Ask His Dad

SOURCE-Patrick to ask why Tagovailoa picked Alabama over USC.

“Yeah that’s a great question,” Tagovailoa told Patrick. “I think that’s one for my dad, not for me. My dad is kind of the reason why…”

Patrick restated that Tagovailoa picked Alabama over USC despite idolizing Leinart.

“I don’t know how that worked out, but I’m fine with it now,” Tagovailoa said.

It appears that awkward interactions between Dan Patrick and future #1 picks about their fathers are now just a Super Bowl tradition:

We all know why Tua went to Alabama....the Alabama duffel bags was a bit more full. Think it was a coincidence that Tua's entire family moved to Tuscaloosa? A lifelong family from Hawaii just picks up everything to move to....Tuscaloosa?
