Baylor University quarterback DJ Lagway's status is uncertain due to an ankle injury, with head coach Dave Aranda stating he is day-to-day. Lagway's participation in the upcoming game against Prairie View A&M will depend on how he performs in practice this week.
In his debut with Baylor, Lagway threw for 333 yards, completing 27 of 54 passes, with two touchdowns and one interception in a close 17-16 loss against Auburn. The Bears missed a crucial two-point conversion that could have changed the outcome of the game.
Auburn's head coach Alex Golesh commended Lagway for his toughness, highlighting his ability to continue playing despite the injury. Golesh remarked on Lagway's resilience, emphasizing his strength as a player.
Lagway transferred to Baylor after spending two seasons with the Florida Gators, where he was considered one of the top recruits in his class. He had a mixed record at Florida, finishing last season with 2,264 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions, while the Gators ended with a 4-8 record.
Tim Tebow, a former quarterback at Florida, suggested that Lagway needed a fresh start and expressed optimism about his future at Baylor. Further updates on Lagway's injury and game status are pending.
