Reports tie his move to the transition to Jon Sumrall following a strained introductory meeting.

Overview

  • Lagway announced on Dec. 15 that he intends to enter the NCAA transfer portal, with the window running Jan. 2–16.
  • He has two years of eligibility remaining and posted 2,264 yards, 16 touchdowns and an SEC-high 14 interceptions in 2025, bringing his Florida totals to 4,179 yards, 28 touchdowns and 23 interceptions over 24 games.
