FaithWire – 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.” READ MORE
