The star quarterback of the Alabama Crimson Tide isn’t letting a terrible hip injury discourage future plans or his faith.
On Nov. 16, Tagovailoa was tackled by two Mississippi State defenders and had to be airlifted to the hospital for evaluation, Sports Spectrum reports.
He suffered a dislocated hip and underwent successful surgery on Nov. 18. The injury will require that he miss the remainder of the 2019 season and possibly the entire 2020 season.
Whether Tagovailoa will ever play football again is unknown, but he hasn’t shown any fear about what lies ahead in the future.
The 21-year-old tweeted “Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes! God always has a plan.”
Tagovailoa is well-known for his strong Christian faith and for wearing a black cross on his face when he plays football.
His Twitter bio says it all: “1 Corinthians 2:9 HIM 13EFORE ME”
That Bible verse from Corinthians says: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
Dr. Louis Levitt, vice president and secretary for The Centers for Advanced Orthopedics told CBS Sports that Tagovailoa sustained a complicated injury.
“It is a matter of letting the wound heal, pray he doesn’t get an infection; he is young and healthy, hopefully, he would not. Then, it is the rehabilitation process.”
Tagovailoa has received an outpouring of prayers and support from friends and fans.
Former Alabama running back Shaun Alexander tweeted that God has prepared a perfect plan for him.
“My confidence in life is not in my gifts, abilities, awards or accomplishments. My confidence comes from my faith in Jesus. His plan is perfect. Every part of the plan is PERFECT. Love you Tuaman. Walkthrough this like you was built to. Finish the Game. A legend is being made.”
The Tagovailoa family released a statement Tuesday morning thanking everyone around the world for their continued prayers, love and support over the past few days.
“We would like to thank all of the Alabama family and everyone across the world for the prayers and outpouring of love and support for our son and our family. We felt the unceasing prayer, and words can’t express how overwhelming and uplifting that has been for us. We have total faith in God’s plan for Tua, and we know his plan is never wrong. God’s grace, mercy, love, and faithfulness in our lives has never been more evident, despite this setback.”
“The care and support Tua and our family has received is nothing short of amazing, and we can’t express our appreciation enough for Dr. Cain, Jeff Allen, Coach Saban, Tua’s teammates, the Alabama Athletics department, our pastors and all of the doctors and nurses that have done such an outstanding job of taking care of Tua. God Bless and Roll Tide!”

Pray for this young man and his family and thank God for his testimony.

Father,
We thank You for Tua’s great faith and honorable witness to Your goodness. We speak total healing to every fiber of Tua’s being, as he continually recognizes that as he abides in You, there is nothing that has permission to penetrate Your incorruptible anointing. The defeated foe is just that: defeated! We proclaim JESUS’ victory in Tua’s life and thank You for the price You, LORD, paid with stripes on Your back so that Tua WAS, IS and always will be HEALED.
We also lift up the Mississippi players who tackled him. We pray that their hearts are filled with genuine sorrow that they have brought great harm to another person. If there actions were pre-meditated with the objective of doing physical harm, we ask that You would bring conviction, redemption and restoration to their hearts. Either way, we call forth open and receptive hearts to Your voice, Precious Father, that they choose to seek forgiveness, choose to turn from the ways that have caused harm and seek Your face, Your will and Your ways for each of their lives. Father, we extend forgiveness to them because in the eternal scheme of things, they have no understanding of what their actions mean. We bless them, just as we bless Tua and his family.
May ALL of us live according to Shaun Alexander’s message to Tua: “My confidence in life is not in my gifts, abilities, awards or accomplishments. My confidence comes from my faith in Jesus. His plan is perfect. Every part of the plan is PERFECT. Love you Tuaman. Walkthrough this like you was built to. Finish the Game. A legend is being made.”
Thank You, amazing GOD. Amen.
Praying for supernatural healing of this injury. May he be a miracle and show all the power of his God.
“Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him from them all.” Psalm 34:19 Amen!!!
