Florida quarterback DJ Lagway is entering the transfer portal next month after two seasons with the Gators, he announced Monday.
The sophomore passer was a five-star recruit in former coach Billy Napier's 2024 signing class, ranked as the No. 1 quarterback and No. 3 overall prospect by 247Sports.
Lagway completed 63.2% of his passes for 2,264 yards with 16 touchdowns and an SEC-high 14 interceptions in 12 games this season for the 4-8 Gators. He directed a win against then-No. 9 Texas on Oct. 4 but finished 1-6 against ranked opponents.
'I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have been part of such an incredible program here at the University of Florida,' Lagway posted on Instagram. 'After much prayer, reflection, and thoughtful consideration, I have decided to enter the transfer portal.'
The 6-foot-3 quarterback's two-year totals included 4,179 passing yards with 28 touchdowns and 23 picks in 24 games. Lagway went 6-1 as a starter as a true freshman in 2024, including wins against LSU, Ole Miss, Florida State and Tulane in the Gasparilla Bowl.
Florida fired Napier after a 3-4 start and hired former Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall to take over the program on Nov. 30.
The transfer portal opens Jan. 2 and players have until Jan. 16 to submit their names. Players competing in the College Football Playoff final will have an extended window from Jan. 20-24.
