Bears QB Gamble: Lagway Takes Over After Robertson's NFL Snub
26 Apr
Summary
- Sawyer Robertson, Baylor's former QB, went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft.
- DJ Lagway transferred from Florida to Baylor, aiming to revitalize the team.
- Lagway aims to improve ball security after throwing 14 interceptions last year.
Sawyer Robertson, the starting quarterback for Baylor over the past two seasons, was not among the two Baylor players selected in the 2026 NFL Draft. He is expected to pursue an NFL opportunity as an undrafted free agent. Robertson finished his college career with consecutive 3,000-yard passing seasons and demonstrated a willingness to attack vertically.
Baylor's new starting quarterback is DJ Lagway, who transferred from Florida to his home state of Texas. Lagway brings a proven track record with over 2,200 passing yards and 16 touchdowns last year. However, he must address ball security issues, having thrown 14 interceptions. Offensive coordinator Jake Spavital will work with Lagway to improve his performance and help the Bears contend in the Big 12.
