Lagway Leaves Florida for Freedom | Florida Gators Football News

DJ Lagway, Florida’s once-promising QB, is headed to Baylor after a brutal season marred by injuries and mental strain—stemming from lack of reps during recovery. With former coach Billy Napier gone and Jon Sumrall now in charge, Lagway couldn’t find the spark he needed in Gainesville. Baylor’s Dave Aranda called Florida’s system a “straitjacket,” stifling Lagway’s drive and creativity—freedom he now finds at Baylor. Lagway himself described the ordeal as a mental and physical battle, where even when healthy, he struggled without consistent practice. The rigid offense under Napier may have been designed to protect him, but it left little room for growth—or expression.
