DJ Lagway Transfer Portal: 5 best landing spots for Florida QB ft. Baylor and more

DJ Lagway has announced his intention to enter the transfer portal. The dual-threat quarterback will continue his collegiate football career away from the Florida Gators.

So, with Lagway looking for a new team, let's look at a handful of top-notch landing spots for the talented shot caller.

5 best landing spots for DJ Lagway

5. Vanderbilt Commodores

The Vanderbilt Commodores have a stacked roster and a stellar head coach in Clark Lea. Commodores QB1 Diego Pavia is set to declare for the 2026 NFL draft, and that leaves a vacancy at the spot.

DJ Lagway could be a solid fit to fill the vacancy. The dual-threat QB is supremely talented and will have a chip on his shoulder after the Florida experience ended on a less-than-ideal note.

4. Florida State Seminoles

The Florida State Seminoles endured a forgettable 2025 college football campaign. Tommy Castellanos was the team's starting QB, and his limitations were there to see.

Lagway could serve as an upgrade on Castellanos if the Seminoles opt to make an offer. Furthermore, the prospect of staying in Florida might be an appealing one for the shot caller.

3. Miami Hurricanes

The Miami Hurricanes are known for making splash quarterback signings. Cam Ward arrived in 2023, Carson Beck in 2024, and could DJ Lagway be the next in 2025?

The Hurricanes are currently in the playoffs, aiming for a shot at the national championship. They're a team to watch in the Lagway sweepstakes.

2. LSU Tigers

Lane Kiffin is searching for the first quarterback of his tenure with the LSU Tigers. Long-term program favorite Garrett Nussmeier is tipped to declare for the upcoming draft.

Lagway could be a top-notch option for Lane Kiffin's offense. Lagway's dual-threat ability and football IQ are reminiscent of Jaxson Dart during his time with the Ole Miss Rebels under the guidance of Kiffin.

1. Baylor Bears

DJ Lagway's father, Derek, played for the Bears. According to Sports Illustrated, Lagway's hometown of Willis, Texas, is also a mere two hours from the Baylor campus.

Lagway signing for the Baylor Bears would be a fitting end to his collegiate football career. He's well placed to replace senior Sawyer Robertson as the program's undisputed starting quarterback.
