D.J. Lagway

Lagway throws with rare arm talent -- the trait that made him the No. 3 recruit in the country -- and the tape is a tug-of-war between that ceiling and his decision-making. The 2025 efficiency was genuinely poor: our play-by-play put his touchdown rate in the 12th percentile and his dropback success rate in the 36th, and the box score agrees (16 touchdowns, 14 interceptions, a five-pick game against LSU that was the most by a Florida quarterback since 1992). Some of that is volatility you can live with from a big arm; some is the kind of turnover habit that sinks seasons. Durability is part of the profile too -- a shoulder injury that limited spring work and a preseason calf strain are on the record. The honest frame: this is a high-variance gunslinger whose floor showed up more than his ceiling in 2025. Baylor is betting the arm is real and the mistakes are coachable. The film to watch in 2026 is simple -- does the interception number come down?
