After an impressive freshman campaign, DJ Lagway is ready to go out there and bring more talent to Gainesville
For most programs, coaches use recruiting pitches such as early playing time or being great at developing a certain position to try and persuade recruits to commit. However,head coach Billy Napier has something – or a certain someone – that could be a more effective sell. That someone is freshman phenom DJ Lagway.
And what makes it even easier to sell Lagway to recruits is actually involving the quarterback himself in the pitches, which is what he said intends to do this offseason. "I'm definitely going to be involved in recruiting and the transfer portal, but the biggest thing is just trying to keep the guys that we have here,” Lagway said after the win over Florida State.
The freshman maybe didn’t have his best game against the Seminoles. But the Gators got the win and that’s all that matters. But he definitely showed why the college football world is in love with his game at such an early stage of his career with plays like this.When you show recruits and offensive players in the portal these types of plays that Lagway has made throughout the season, it’s hard to think they won’t want to play with him.
In addition to the transfer portal targets that will soon be revealed when the season ends, the Gators also have positioned themselves in good spots with talented high school pass catchers.If the Gators can capitalize on the momentum generated from their on-field performances in recent weeks and use a player like DJ Lagway to their advantage in recruiting, it could be a fun and surprising offseason for the fans of those in the orange and blue.
