    A former top-10 recruit who was ESPN’s No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the class of 2024, Lagway rose to the starting job in his first year with the Gators in 2024, flashing the promise to meet his potential. He shined late that season, leading the Gators to four straight victories — against No. 22 LSU, No. 9 Ole Miss, Florida State, and Tulane in the Gasparilla Bowl — to end the season.

    But he dealt with injuries throughout the spring and summer, which curbed his growth and led to an inconsistent sophomore season, when he threw 16 touchdown passes and an SEC-high 14 interceptions for a Florida program that fired coach Billy Napier during the season and ultimately hired Tulane’s Jon Sumrall to replace him.

    Baylor is coming off a 5-7 season under coach Dave Aranda and is looking to replace senior QB Sawyer Robertson.

    On3 first reported Lagway’s decision to transfer to Baylor.
