Less than a month after announcing his intent to transfer, Lagway reportedly committed to Baylor, according to Rivals. com. Lagway's decision comes a day after he visited the school and was spotted attending a Baylor basketball game with Bears football coach Dave Aranda. Lagway, considered the top quarterback in the 2024 class, turned in a strong freshman season with the Gators. After starting the year on the bench, Lagway was pushed into the starting lineup following an injury to Graham Mertz.

That strong finish led to heightened expectations for both Lagway and Florida entering the 2025 season.
