LIVE UPDATES: Gators Online is at DJ Lagway's game Friday night
WILLIS, TEXAS — Stats aren’t everything but it’s hard to ignore what 5-star Florida Gators quarterback commitment DJ Lagway is doing on the field for Willis High this season.

Incredibly, Lagway already has five games this season where he has passed for five or more touchdowns.
Even more important is this … his team is 7-0.
For his high school career, Lagway has thrown for 6,080 yards, 78 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
Friday night, Willis plays host to Caney Creek (Texas), which is 3-3 and allows 21 points per game.
