The quarterback announced his decision through his Instagram account on Monday morning, with a statement that partly read as follows:
“Dear Gator family, first and foremost, I want to thank God for every blessing he has placed over my life. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have been part of such an incredible program here at the University of Florida. To my family—your unwavering support means the world to me… To my friends and teammates—thank you for the brotherhood, the memories, and the bonds we’ve built over these past two years. I will carry those moments with me for a lifetime. To my coaches, the athletic training staff, and every member of the University of Florida community—thank you for pouring into me, believing in me, and showing me nothing but love and support throughout my time in Gainesville. After much prayer, reflection, and thoughtful consideration, I have decided to enter the transfer portal.”
Through two seasons at Gainsville, DJ Lagway recorded 4179 passing yards, with 28 touchdowns and 23 interceptions. His completion percentage was an average 62%. He also ran for 237 yards, with one rushing touchdown.
What’s DJ Lagway Looking For As He Transfers Out Of Florida?
According to reports, DJ Lagway decided to transfer out of Florida in search of a way to reignite his career. According to a report by ESPN’s Pete Thamel, he would want to make a move similar to that of Bo Nix and Jayden Daniels when they moved to Oregon and LSU, respectively.
“Lagway is seeking a fresh start to harness his talent, much in the way quarterbacks like Bo Nix and Jayden Daniels reshaped their careers after transferring from their original schools,” Thamel wrote on X.
