LSU HC Lane Kiffin suffers another QB transfer failure with DJ Lagway planning Baylor move

DJ Lagway, a five-star recruit in the class of 2024, struggled to meet expectations in two seasons at Florida. In 24 games, he completed a below-average 62 percent of his passes for 4,179 yards, 28 TD passes and 23 interceptions. 

There were flashes of promise, though. In his freshman year, he went 6-1 as a starter, posting a solid 154.9 passer rating. Kiffin, an offensive-minded coach, could unlock his untapped potential. 

In three seasons under Kiffin, former Ole Miss Rebels QB Jaxson Dart (now with the New York Giants) developed into a first-round pick in the NFL Draft. 2025 pick No. 25 Dart set the school record for passing yards (10,617) during his time in Oxford.  

LSU still has plenty of time to land a QB, perhaps Demond Williams Jr. The Tigers are reportedly the front-runner for the QB if he finds a way to let the Washington Huskies release him from his NIL (name, image and likeness) contract.

Kiffin better find his QB soon. He doesn't want to roll with QB Emile Picarella III, who has yet to throw a pass in his college career, as his Week 1 starter in 2026.
