Reports: Ex-Florida Qb Dj Lagway Commits to Baylor

DJ Lagway, a top-ranked 5-star recruit, chose Baylor after his Florida coach was fired; he brings two years of eligibility and a strong family legacy to the team.

  • On Wednesday in Waco, the Baylor Bears landed polarizing transfer quarterback DJ Lagway, who committed after watching a basketball game with head coach Dave Arnada, multiple outlets reported.
  • Following a Week 2 upset and a five-interception game, Florida underwent coaching upheaval when the head coach was fired on October 19th, amid the 2025 season.
  • A former Five-Star Plus+ prospect and No. 1 recruit in the 2024 cycle, DJ Lagway measures six-foot-three, 250 pounds and finished 2025 with 2,264 yards, 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
  • Baylor's roster now features DJ Lagway, filling the quarterback need after Sawyer Robertson left for the NFL and reshaping preparations for the Auburn vs. Baylor opener on Sept. 5, 2026.
  • Framed as a 'homecoming', DJ Lagway honors his father Derek Lagway's Baylor legacy from 1997–2001 and quietly improved despite Heisman watchlists and offseason expectations.
