In 2019, there was lots of chatter about the Miami Dolphins’ rumored (read: unspoken) goal to “Tank for Tua,” and now that perception has become reality: Hawaii’s Tua Tagovailoa is now a Miami Dolphin. The former Saint Louis Crusaders standout was the fifth overall selection in last week’s NFL Draft. So what’s next for the former […]

From Nashville to Music City. Former University of Hawaii QB Cole McDonald realized his NFL dream yesterday when he was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the seventh and final round (224th pick overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft.
