DJ Lagway Commits to Baylor Bears
DJ Lagway, a former top-ranked quarterback, is leaving the Florida Gators to join the Baylor Bears.
He was a big deal when he started playing, but injuries slowed him down.
Now, he's hoping to do better with Baylor, where his dad also played.
Baylor's coach thinks he can help the team do well, even though they had a bad season last year.
DJ is really good at throwing the ball, and Baylor's way of playing football might be just what he needs to get back on track.
DJ Lagway, once the top-ranked QB in the 2024 class, is transferring from Florida Gators to Baylor Bears.
He is the highest-rated recruit ever to join Baylor, with a strong high school career and solid college stats.
Lagway's decision comes after injuries impacted his sophomore season and Florida's coaching changes.
Baylor's offensive scheme and coordinator Jake Spavital's track record make it an appealing fit for Lagway.
The commitment is a boost for Baylor, which had a disappointing 5-7 record in 2025.
