"Lagway missed Florida's spring practice, which came in the wake of core muscle surgery and him dealing with a shoulder injury. He endured a calf issue in July that slowed his participation in summer camp, including not running in 11-on-11 drills until mid-August. From there, Lagway never got in synch as the Gators started 1-3. He finished the season completing 63.2% of his passes for 2,264 yards. The injuries limited his ability to run, as he had just 101 rushing yards in 2025."
"Lagway is a former top-10 recruit who was ESPN's No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the class of 2024. He rose to the starting job in his first year with the Gators in 2024, flashing the promise to meet his potential. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Lagway should have a robust market for his services. His raw talent flashed enough to NFL personnel where he was considered among the top prospects for the 2027 NFL draft in the wake of his freshman season."
DJ Lagway intends to enter the NCAA transfer portal after an injury-affected sophomore season. He was a top-10 recruit and ESPN’s No. 1 dual‑threat quarterback in the class of 2024 and became Florida’s starter as a true freshman, going 6-1 and throwing for 1,915 yards. Core muscle surgery, a shoulder issue and a calf problem limited spring practice and summer camp, hampering mobility and contributing to a season with 16 touchdown passes and 14 interceptions in 2025. Lagway completed 63.2% of his passes for 2,264 yards, rushed for 101 yards, finished the year with four late wins, and is viewed as having strong NFL upside.
