Florida quarterback DJ Lagway, a highly regarded young player and former Five-Star Plus+ recruit, has announced his intention to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal following a coaching change at the University of Florida. Lagway, who has two years of eligibility remaining, was a key player for the Gators over the past two seasons, appearing in 21 games and serving as the full-time starter in 2025. Despite high expectations and a promising start, his recent season was marred by turnovers, inconsistency, and injuries, including shoulder surgery and a sports hernia. Lagway completed 63.2% of his passes for 2,264 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions in 2025. He is projected to be a top target for many programs and is considered a plug-and-play starter with potential to enter the NFL Draft after his junior year. His departure comes after the Gators replaced head coach Billy Napier with Jon Sumrall. Lagway expressed gratitude to his family, teammates, coaches, and the Florida community in his farewell message. As one of the top recruits of his class, he remains a highly coveted transfer prospect and is expected to seek a fresh start to maximize his potential.
