Florida<\/a> transfer quarterback DJ Lagway<\/a> is set to visit Ole Miss<\/a> on Saturday, On3\u2019s Pete Nakos<\/a> and Hayes Fawcett<\/a> have learned. He is continuing to take visits since he did not sign with Baylor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lagway took a visit to Baylor \u2013 his father\u2019s alma mater \u2013 earlier this week. He was also seen at a basketball game with Bears head coach Dave Aranda<\/a>. While he did not sign with the program, On3 reported he verbally committed.<\/p>\n

Although he\u2019s still taking visits, Lagway told On3 on Friday that he is committed to Baylor. That said, he acknowledged it\u2019s been a whirlwind journey through the transfer portal.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything has been hectic,\u201d he said<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t know where people are getting stuff at in the beginning, but yes, I am committed to Baylor.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0On3 Transfer Portal Instagram account<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Twitter account<\/a>\u00a0are excellent resources to stay up to date with the latest moves.<\/p>\n

Lagway isn\u2019t the only notable transfer quarterback set to visit Ole Miss in the near future. The Rebels are also set to host Auburn<\/a> transfer Deuce Knight<\/a> this weekend, On3\u2019s Pete Nakos reported Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lagway entered his sophomore season in 2025 with high expectations after showing flashes as a freshman. However, the former\u00a0Five Star Plus+<\/a>\u00a0recruit had an up-and-down go, throwing for 2,264 yards and 16 touchdowns, to 14 interceptions.<\/p>\n

As a freshman in 2024, Lagway took over Florida\u2019s starting quarterback job after Graham Mertz<\/a> suffered an injury. In his 12 appearances, he threw for 1,915 yards and 12 touchdowns, to nine interceptions, as the Gators eventually finished the year with an 8-5 record.<\/p>\n

After hitting the portal, Lagway became one of the top players to hit the open market. He currently ranks No. 21 overall in the On3 Industry Transfer Portal Rankings<\/a> and is the No. 8-ranked quarterback. Lagway has also generated interest from the Big Ten as he navigates the transfer portal, as On3 previously detailed<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Ole Miss is weighing its options at quarterback after the season came to an end Thursday in the Fiesta Bowl. The NCAA announced Friday that Trinidad Chambliss\u2019<\/a> waiver was denied for another year of eligibility, although legal avenues could be explored. In the meantime, new head coach Pete Golding<\/a> is surveying the landscape as he takes over the program.<\/p>\n
