Lagway on why he chose Florida

“What stood out for Florida was the system they run,” Lagway said. “I definitely can see myself excelling in that offense and achieving all of my goals and aspirations there.”

Relationship with coaching staff

“I have an amazing relationship with coach Napier and coach O’Hara,” Lagway said. “They are great offensive minds, and I can’t wait to get there and compete and develop.”

Lagway plans to recruit for Florida

“My plan in recruiting is to have the No.1 class in the country,” Lagway said. “I’m going to be really active in a lot of recruitments.”

DJ Lagway Scouting Summary

“Strong-armed quarterback prospect who possesses a thicker build with solid measurables for the position,” On3’s Director of Scouting Charles Power wrote. “Checked in at 6-foot-2.3 and 225 pounds during the camp circuit prior to his junior season. Has the arm strength to make throws at every level of the field, including ones from the far hash. Efficient with his movements in the pocket and comfortable working outside the pocket. Arm talent shines when forced to throw from multiple arm slots or off-platform. Will need to continue progressing with his accuracy as a passer – completed 55 percent of his passes as a sophomore at under 7 yards per attempt. A touted two-sport athlete who has also received multiple Power Five offers as a baseball player.”

Lagway currently ranks as the No. 21 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four major recruiting services. He also tabs in as the No. 3 quarterback and the No. 4 player in the state of Texas.
