DJ Lagway returns to Baylor as starting quarterback for 2026 season

Summary

DJ Lagway is set to lead the Baylor Bears as their starting quarterback in the 2026 season. After spending two seasons at Florida, Lagway returns to Texas, a state with deep personal ties, including his father's football legacy at Baylor. The Bears have struggled in recent years, posting a losing record in three of the last four seasons since winning the Big 12 in 2021. Coach Dave Aranda is under pressure to improve the team's performance this season with Lagway at the helm. Lagway's previous experience includes a strong freshman year at Florida, where he recorded notable wins but faced challenges during his second season, including injuries and inconsistency.
