Florida quarterback DJ Lagway is entering the NCAA transfer portal, he announced Monday.
“I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have been part of such an incredible program here at the University of Florida,” Lagway posted to social media. “… After much prayer, reflection, and thoughtful consideration, I have decided to enter the transfer portal.”
Lagway is a former top-10 recruit who was ESPN’s No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the class of 2024. He rose to the starting job in his first year with the Gators in 2024, flashing the promise to meet his potential.
He dealt with injuries throughout the spring and summer, which curbed his growth and led to an inconsistent sophomore season with 16 touchdown passes and 14 interceptions as Florida fired coach Billy Napier, installed interim coach Billy Gonzales and then hired Tulane’s Jon Sumrall as the Gators’ new head coach following the season.
