Baylor Secures Top QB Transfer DJ Lagway
8 Jan
Summary
- DJ Lagway, a five-star recruit, transfers to Baylor.
- Lagway returns to his home state of Texas.
- Baylor gains a needed quarterback for the 2026 season.
Quarterback DJ Lagway, a highly sought-after transfer from Florida, has committed to playing for Baylor University. This move brings the former five-star recruit back to his home state of Texas. Lagway's decision addresses a significant need for Baylor's football program, as their starting quarterback has exhausted eligibility.
The transfer of Lagway, who was a Gatorade National High School Player of the Year, provides a major boost to Baylor's transfer portal class. Despite a challenging tenure at Florida, his reputation in Texas remains strong. His father, Derek Lagway, played running back for the Bears from 1997 to 2001, creating a notable family connection.
Lagway's commitment comes as head coach Dave Aranda enters a pivotal seventh season. The Bears aim to improve on recent performance, seeking to build momentum after a successful 2021 Big 12 championship season. Lagway was recently seen at a Baylor men's basketball game in Waco, signaling his integration with the program.
