Tagovailoa has been rewriting Maryland’s history books this season. He became the first quarterback in program history to have 8,000 career yards passing earlier this season.
The good news for Maryland is that it’s still early into the year, which means Tagovailoa could break even more records before it’s all over.
The DMV is going to miss Tagovailoa when he eventually leaves to go onto the next level. All fans can do now is just enjoy him while he’s still at Maryland.
