DJ Lagway transfer to Baylor football

Overview

Quarterback DJ Lagway has transferred to Baylor University to seek a fresh start following a difficult period at the University of Florida. During his tenure at Florida, Lagway dealt with a struggling program and a shoulder injury, an experience marked by significant emotional pressure. After head coach Billy Napier was dismissed midway through the 2025 season, the Gators hired Jon Sumrall to lead the program.

At Baylor, Lagway has emerged as a central figure in the team’s new identity for the 2026 season. The program is managing significant roster turnover, particularly within the wide receiver room, as coaching staff work to develop new players. Head coach Dave Aranda and the coaching staff have highlighted Lagway’s leadership and work ethic as key components of the team’s efforts to establish a more successful culture.
