It’s finally decision day for five-star Willis, Texas, quarterback [autotag]DJ Lagway[/autotag] and the Florida Gators recently picked up two favorable crystal ball predictions from 247Sports.
Steve Wiltfong, 247Sports’ Director of Football Recruiting, submitted his prediction Tuesday morning in favor of the Gators with a six (out of 10) confidence level. Swamp247’s Blake Alderman followed up with another crystal ball for Florida on Wednesday morning with a confidence level of seven. No other predictions have been submitted on the site.
It won’t take long for Gator Nation to find out if those predictions will come true or not. Lagway decides his college future on Wednesday at 4 p.m. EST (2 p.m. local time for him). It’s come down to Florida, Baylor, Clemson, Texas A&M and USC, although the Gators and Trojans are considered his unofficial top two.
Lagway has long been compared to soon-to-be former Gator [autotag]Anthony Richardson[/autotag], who recently declared for the NFL draft. The offense seems like a good fit for him and Billy Napier’s coaching staff has left him impressed.
It’s no secret that Florida has prioritized Lagway as their top target at quarterback in the 2024 cycle. Fans are some coming into this decision with some caution after missing out on five-star cornerback [autotag]Cormani McClain[/autotag] recently, but the general feeling has been that Florida is the team to beat for Lagway.
The 247Sports composite ranks Lagway at No. 24 overall nationally and No. 4 among quarterbacks in the class of 2024. The On3 consensus is even higher on him ranking Lagway at No. 21 overall and No. 3 at his position.
