Lagway on his recruitment and plans on playing both sports

“I am ready to lock in with a school and start recruiting,” Lagway said. “I want to have some dawgs around me. As far as baseball, I do plan on going to college to play football and baseball.”

DJ Lagway Scouting Summary

“Strong-armed quarterback prospect who possesses a thicker build with solid measurables for the position,” On3’s Director of Scouting Charles Power wrote. “Checked in at 6-foot-2.3 and 225 pounds during the camp circuit prior to his junior season. Has the arm strength to make throws at every level of the field, including ones from the far hash. Efficient with his movements in the pocket and comfortable working outside the pocket. Arm talent shines when forced to throw from multiple arm slots or off-platform. Will need to continue progressing with his accuracy as a passer – completed 55 percent of his passes as a sophomore at under 7 yards per attempt. A touted two-sport athlete who has also received multiple Power Five offers as a baseball player.”

Lagway ranks as the No. 17 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four major recruiting sites. He also tabs in as the No. 4 quarterback and the No. 3 player in the state of Texas.
