4-star QB DJ Lagway picks up Texas A&M, LSU baseball offers

Willis (Texas) four-star quarterback DJ Lagway made his second trip to Texas A&M this month Thursday.

The elite 2023 football recruit already had an offer from Jimbo Fisher and the Aggies, but he finished the day with another offer from Texas A&M — this one from the baseball program.

Lagway posted on Twitter that he has received an offer to play baseball as well for the Aggies.

He then soon after added he had also received an offer to play baseball in addition to football from LSU.

Lagway is the No. 6 overall recruit in the 2024 cycle for football, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He is the second-highest rated quarterback in the cycle behind Chandler (Ariz.) High five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola.

“DJ Lagway showed some intriguing flashes as a sophomore at Willis (Texas) High,” On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power said in a recent scouting report on quarterbacks in the 2024 cycle. “The 6-foot-2, 215-pounder has a quick release, live arm and good feet. He makes impressive reactive plays in and out of the pocket. Lagway was not quite as efficient or productive as some of his highly-ranked peers as a sophomore and is more of an upside and skill set projection at this point. He completed 55.5 percent of his passes for 1,579 yards, 17 touchdown and two interceptions at under seven yards per attempt, while also rushing for 715 yards and six scores.”

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $12.8k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

On3’s Sam Spiegelman recently provided an update on Lagway’s recruitment.

“Along with LSU and Florida, SEC teams like Texas A&M, Georgia and Alabama haven’t taken their feet off the gas,” Spiegelman said. “Lagway was the Aggies’ first in-state offer and he’s already built a strong rapport with multiple members of the staff. Recent stops to both Georgia and Alabama have also caught Lagway’s attention.”
