Another quarterback option for the Miami Hurricanes has officially become available.

As reported by Pete Nakos from On3 Sports, former Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal.

It’s unclear whether the NCAA has officially granted Tagovailoa an extra year of eligibility or if that verdict is still pending. He recently submitted a waiver. Either way, entering the portal is a big step forward for him to possibly play an additional season.

He started four years for the Maryland Terrapins. His 3,377 passing yards led the Big 10 conference in 2023. He threw 25 touchdowns with 11 interceptions last season. He’s the all-time Maryland passing leader with 11,256 passing yards and 76 touchdowns.

It’s been reported in recent weeks that Taulia would be interested in playing for the Miami Hurricanes to be closer to his older brother, Tua. The elder Tagovailoa is in his fourth season with the Miami Dolphins.

Tagovailoa could provide the Hurricanes with valuable experience in an otherwise young quarterback room. Jacurri Brown, heading into his third season, is Miami’s most experienced signal caller.
