Baylor University quarterback DJ Lagway's status for the upcoming game against Prairie View A&M is currently uncertain due to an ankle injury. Head coach Dave Aranda stated that Lagway is considered day-to-day, with a decision on his availability depending on his performance in practice this week.
In his debut for Baylor, Lagway completed 27 of 54 passes for 333 yards, securing two touchdowns but also throwing one interception in a close 17-16 loss to Auburn. The Bears missed a crucial two-point conversion attempt late in the game, which contributed to their defeat.
Auburn's head coach Alex Golesh commended Lagway's toughness, emphasizing his ability to play through injury. Lagway, who transferred from the Florida Gators, was a highly ranked recruit and initially started for Florida before entering the transfer portal following the departure of head coach Billy Napier.
During his time at Florida, he recorded 2,264 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions last season, while the Gators finished with a 4-8 record.
Former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow remarked on Lagway's need for a fresh start, expressing optimism about his potential success at Baylor. Further updates on Lagway's injury and game status are pending.
