Overview

  • Lagway announced his decision on social media Monday, ending a two-season stint in Gainesville that began with a breakout freshman run.
  • He posted a 2025 line of 63.2% passing for 2,264 yards with 16 touchdowns and an SEC‑high 14 interceptions, bringing his two‑year totals to 4,179 yards, 28 TDs and 23 INTs.
  • Reports attribute the move to an injury-disrupted offseason and a poor initial meeting with new coach Jon Sumrall’s staff, with sources describing Lagway as seeking a fresh start.
  • The 2024 five‑star recruit is widely expected to be among the top quarterbacks in the market, with the portal window set for Jan. 2–16.
  • Florida now faces a reset at quarterback under Sumrall, with Tramell Jones Jr. among return options and freed NIL resources to pursue portal candidates.
