Baylor University quarterback DJ Lagway is currently considered day-to-day due to an ankle injury, according to head coach Dave Aranda. The Bears will decide on Lagway's participation in the game against Prairie View A&M on Saturday based on his practice performance this week.
In his debut with the Bears, Lagway threw for 333 yards, completing 27 of 54 passes, with two touchdowns and one interception in a close 17-16 loss to Auburn. The team fell short after failing to convert a critical two-point conversion attempt at the end of the game.
Auburn's head coach Alex Golesh commended Lagway's determination, highlighting his ability to keep playing despite the injury. Golesh stated, "If you’ve got any question on how tough that kid is... he got banged up early, and that is a tough, tough football player."
Lagway joined Baylor after spending two seasons with the Florida Gators, where he was a highly regarded recruit. Last season, he accumulated 2,264 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions, while Florida finished with a 4-8 record. Tim Tebow, a former Florida quarterback, suggested that Lagway needed a fresh start and expressed confidence in his potential at Baylor.
Further updates on Lagway's injury and game status are pending.
