Video: Alabama fans try to pronounce the name of their new QB commitment

Alabama landed a commitment from the nation’s No. 2 dual-threat quarterback for the 2017 recruiting class earlier this week.
Tua Tagovailoa, who hails from Hawaii, is a four-star QB who chose the Crimson Tide over schools like Southern California, Ole Miss, UCLA, Texas A&M and Hawaii.
The commitment served as another indication that Nick Saban has warmed to the idea of quarterbacks that can move outside the pocket a little bit during recent years.
The day after the commitment, AL.com hit the streets of Tuscaloosa to see if Crimson Tide fans could correctly say Tagovailoa’s name, which can be pretty difficult to pronounce if you haven’t practiced.
The results turned into a pretty humorous video:
If you’re not able to get it down just yet, don’t fret Crimson Tide fans. You still have several months before he signs his papers with the school, and well over a year before he could be in a game situation for Alabama.
There’s still time to get this right.
