DJ Lagway, a highly-rated quarterback from Florida, has verbally committed to Baylor but remains in contact with Ole Miss and other programs as the transfer portal’s landscape evolves. His commitment to Baylor followed an impressive tenure at Florida where he completed 62% of his passes, totaling 4,179 yards along with 28 touchdowns and 23 interceptions over 24 games. He also accumulated 237 rushing yards, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities. However, uncertainties linger as he explores options before the final commitment.

“Nothing in the transfer portal is final until the ink is dry – and sometimes not even then.”

This reflects on the increasing fluidity of commitments in the sports world.

Despite his ties to Baylor, Lagway’s continued discussions with other teams suggest a complex recruitment scenario. Recent events, particularly the denial of Trinidad Chambliss’ eligibility waiver by the NCAA, may alter Ole Miss’ QB situation, making Lagway’s situation more noteworthy. The pressing need for clarity at Ole Miss under new coach Pete Golding highlights the competitive nature of this recruitment process.

As Lagway weighs his choices, the situation demonstrates the intricacies of modern college football and the challenges coaches face in maintaining their rosters amid transfer portal dynamics.
