Florida quarterback DJ Lagway has announced his decision to enter the transfer portal, citing a desire for a fresh start amidst the coaching change at the University of Florida. Lagway, who has struggled with injuries throughout his career, completed 63% of his passes this season for 2,264 yards, with 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Lagway's decision to leave the Gators comes after the team fired coach Billy Napier in October, raising questions about the quarterback's future under the new coaching staff. Despite his on-field struggles, Lagway has been a lucrative brand ambassador, with deals worth millions from companies like Gatorade, Jordan Brand, and Mercedes-Benz. As Lagway prepares to move on, he expressed gratitude to the Florida community, teammates, and coaches in a heartfelt goodbye message. With over $3 million in guaranteed compensation for the 2026 season, Lagway will likely be a highly sought-after transfer in the college football market. Lagway's departure from Florida is not the only quarterback transfer news, as Nebraska's Dylan Raiola is also planning to enter the portal. Raiola, a highly touted recruit from high school, has started all 22 games since his arrival at Nebraska and has thrown for 2,000 yards and 18 touchdowns this season. His decision to leave the Cornhuskers comes as a surprise, given his family's strong ties to the program.
