Tua Tagovailoa declares for the NFL draft on Monday after some speculation that the junior QB may return to school. It was announced in a press conference today that Tua would be moving on from Alabama. Tagovailoa sustained a major hip injury against Mississippi State in November leaving some to speculate about a return to Alabama. Instead, Tua chose to not risk his health and go the league, where he should still be a top-ten pick.

Despite the hip injury, the reports are optimistic that Tua will make a full recovery and come back the same as he was. Tua Tagovailoa declares for the NFL Draft after passing for 7,422 yards, 87 TDs and 11 interceptions in Tuscaloosa.
