"Lagway, the top-rated QB and No. 8 overall recruit in the 2024 ESPN 300, battled injuries throughout his two years at Florida while putting up 4,179 passing yards, 237 rushing yards, 29 total touchdowns and 24 turnovers. He's coming off a 4-8 season in which he threw an SEC-high 14 interceptions and ranked 14th in the conference in QBR (59.5)."
"There are lots of reasons why Baylor would be a logical pick for Lagway. His father, Derek Lagway, played running back for the Bears in the late 1990s. His family would get to watch him play close to home, two hours away in Waco. Bears offensive coordinator Jake Spavital just developed departing starter Sawyer Robertson into the No. 2 passer in FBS this season with 3,681 passing yards and 31 TDs."
DJ Lagway will enter the transfer portal when it opens on Jan. 2 after two challenging seasons and a head coaching change in Gainesville. He compiled 4,179 passing yards, 237 rushing yards, 29 total touchdowns and 24 turnovers across 19 starts while battling injuries. Lagway finished a 4-8 season with an SEC-high 14 interceptions and a conference QBR of 59.5 (14th). He is expected to evaluate opportunities closer to home in Texas and prioritize an ideal fit ahead of his junior season to regain winning form and continue developing into a top NFL prospect. Baylor and LSU figure among logical fits.
