Could Florida QB DJ Lagway end up transferring to Texas A&M?

The Florida Gators’ 2024 season was never predicted to be a massive success. Third-year head coach Billy Napier is at the tippy top of every coaching hot seat list, currently holding an 11-15 overall record, including 6-11 in SEC play.

To open the season, Florida, on their home turf, fell 41-17 to rival Miami behind Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward’s three touchdowns and nearly 400 yards through the air, while Miami’s defense held the Gators to just 261 total yards on the day.

On paper, Florida finishes the season with the toughest schedule in the country, facing Georgia , Texas , LSU , and Ole Miss once November rolls around. While a 4-8 (or worse) finish could be in the works, one of the program’s most talented players on the roster, freshman quarterback DJ Lagway’s future might be in question.

Coming into Saturday’s game late, Lagway threw for 31 yards and an interception but still looked more fluid than veteran starter Graham Mertz. If Napier is let go by mid-season or later, could we see Lagway enter the transfer portal? If so,  CBS Sports analyst Bud Elliott believes Texas A&M could be the favorite landing spot.

As the top player in the 2025 recruiting class, Lagway has been connected to Texas A&M for quite some time until Florida and NIL held late. Again, this is all based on speculation, but it’s something to monitor.
