Reports: Ex-Florida QB DJ Lagway commits to Baylor

Former Florida quarterback DJ Lagway has committed to Baylor, according to multiple reports on Thursday.

Lagway visited the school in Waco, Texas on Wednesday and was spotted numerous times at the Baylor-Iowa State men's basketball game with Bears football coach Dave Aranda on Wednesday night.

Lagway, a former five-star recruit, passed for 4,179 yards and 28 touchdowns against 23 interceptions for the Gators from 2024-25. He started 19 of his 24 appearances and compiled a 10-9 record.

Last season, Lagway completed 63.2% of his passes for 2,264 yards and 16 touchdowns but was intercepted 14 times, most among Southeastern Conference quarterbacks.

Florida dismissed coach Billy Napier during the season and he was replaced after the campaign by former Tulane coach Jon Sumrall.

Sumrall and Lagway met before the latter decided to put his name in the transfer portal.

Lagway, who has two seasons of eligibility remaining, is the son of Derek Lagway, a Baylor running back from 1997-2001.

DJ Lagway also played at Willis (Texas) High, located about 150 miles southeast of Waco.

Baylor needed a quarterback to replace three-year starter Sawyer Robertson, who passed for 3,681 yards and 31 touchdowns against 12 interceptions last season.
