For almost two years before he even put the jersey on for Florida, DJ Lagway was hyped up to be the savior of the Gators and of Billy Napier. The former five-star prospect had all the tools needed to morph into a Heisman winner down the road, and even when things weren’t going great for Napier, there was still the hope and promise of Lagway.
That hope and promise fizzled out as Lagway showed flashes of what he could do in 2024 but hit a freefall in 2025.
As a result, both Lagway and Napier are now gone from Gainsville, having accomplished none of what seemed possible when they originally arrived.
