As a College Recruit

Thickly-built quarterback prospect with one of the better combinations of arm talent and athleticism in the 2024 cycle. Has measured at around 6-foot-2.5, 230 pounds with a 9.5-inch hand. Tests as a good athlete in the combine setting. Flashes palpable arm strength, with the the ability to make throws to every level of the field. The ball pops out of his hand. Hits far hash throws with relative ease. Arm talent shines when forced to throw from multiple arm slots or off-platform. Makes some very impressive reactive plays. Efficient with his movements in the pocket and comfortable working outside the pocket. Owns some of the best mobility among top 2024 quarterbacks. Has quick feet and is able to extend plays and pick up yards on the ground. Ripped off a number of big gains on scrambles as a junior. His size and athleticism also provide the makings of a dangerous between the tackles threat on designed quarterback runs. Productive in a smaller sample as a junior, passing for 2,081 yards at 10.4 yards per attempt for 24 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. Rushed for 517 yards and 7 scores on 50 carries. Shows some outstanding flashes, but needs to be more consistent on a throw to throw and week to week basis. Accuracy and performance can waver at times, with a wider than desired variance from game to game. Has yet to lead his team to a winning record entering his senior season. A touted two-sport athlete who has also received multiple offers as a baseball player.

DJ Lagway is a strong-armed, mobile quarterback with physical tools that remind us of Jordan Love. Lagway is a bit more of an established runner at the same stage.

DJ Lagway finishes No. 2 overall in 2024 On300

Charles Power•

DJ Lagway finished No. 2 overall in the 2024 On300. He posted the best senior season of any 2024 quarterback – by a fair margin. The Florida signee exploded in his final prep campaign, completing 72.1% of his passes for 4,634 yards (11.52 yards per attempt) and 58 touchdowns against eight picks. He also looked like the top run threat among top 100 quarterbacks, rushing for 957 yards and 16 touchdowns. Lagway did everything for his Willis (Texas) High team, accounting for an eye-popping 5.7 touchdowns per game while leading the Wildkats to their best season in school history. A strong-armed passer at 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, Lagway excels at making plays outside of structure. His ability to make individual plays as a passer and runner – especially when things break down – is the best in the cycle. Lagway will need to continue to improve his mechanics and accuracy to hit his ceiling, but the upside and signs of improvement were apparent as a senior.

DJ Lagway shows physical talent at Elite 11 Finals

Charles Power•

DJ Lagway flashed his big arm on each day at the Elite 11 Finals. The Florida pledge easily drove the ball to all levels and had two solid showings earning Top Performer status on the first two days. Lagway was arguably the best off-platform passer during drill work on Day 1. He showed some very nice arm dexterity and rotational ability, drawing on his background as a baseball player. Lagway also had a solid showing Day 2. He didn’t have a great 7-on-7 session as one of the last quarterbacks to go on Friday – completing 9 of 17 passes for zero touchdowns and two interceptions. While he has plus pure arm strength and the ability to throw from multiple platforms, Lagway will need to refine his mechanics to improve his accuracy. He has a somewhat unconventional throwing motion that can make for errant throws from time to time. Still, we got to see the Willis (Texas) High standout’s upside in Redondo Beach.
