DJ Lagway News, Rumors, Updates - Baylor Bears

Explodes in Saturday's win Lagway was 16-for-28 passing for 229 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 42-31 win against Iowa State. He also had 13 rushes for 119 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Lagway had another good day through the air, but he exploded on the ground versus the Cyclones. He had just 42 yards on the ground in his six appearances prior to Saturday, so his career-high 119 rushing yards truly came out of nowhere. A large chunk of it came on his 54-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter, but he still would have set his career-high in rushing yards without that explosive play. While this was an excellent performance from him his schedule is extremely difficult across the final three regular season contests, starting Saturday at BYU.

Tosses four TDs versus UCF Lagway was 16-for-25 passing for 319 yards and four touchdowns during Friday's 41-9 win against UCF. He also had 11 rushes for 23 yards.

Impact Lagway threw four touchdown passes for the second time this season in Saturday's blowout win, three of which came in the second half. He also threw for over 300 yards for the third time this season and completed 64 percent of his passes in his second straight game after not hitting that mark in his first four starts of the season. It was an excellent performance for the junior, and one he'll hope to build off heading into Saturday's tilt with Iowa State.

Throws one touchdown Saturday Lagway was 20-for-31 passing for 236 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 25-24 defeat to Kansas. He also had 11 rushes for 47 yards.

Impact Lagway threw one touchdown pass Saturday as he and the team fell just short of a road victory. While he did throw another interception, there were definitely some positives for him. He set season highs in completion percentage (64.5 percent) and rushing yards (47), two pieces of his game that he had struggled with during the first half of the season. He'll hope to build off those positive aspects heading into Friday's game at UCF.

Struggles in Saturday's loss Lagway completed 22 of 53 passes for 256 yards and one interception during Saturday's 17-6 defeat to TCU. He also had seven rushes for -17 yards.

Impact Coming off one of the best performances of his career, Lagway struggled to get anything going versus TCU. He completed just 41.5 percent of his 53 pass attempts, his third time through four games at or below 50 percent. His inaccuracy is not only hurting his fantasy production, but it's making it very difficult for the Bears to have sustained offensive drives. He completed 63.2 percent of his passes last season with Florida, so there is hope that he can improve over the second half of the campaign.

He faces a more difficult matchup Saturday versus TCU.

Throws two TDs in return Lagway was 19-for-39 passing for 221 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 23-13 win versus Colorado.

Impact Lagway made his return to the field Saturday after missing the previous two games with an ankle injury. He was definitely not at his best as he completed under 50 percent of his passes, but he did enough to secure the win, including two scoring drives in the fourth quarter. Next up is the first conference road game of the season, at Arizona State on Saturday.

Available for Week 4 Lagway (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Colorado, Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune reports.

Impact Lagway can return following a two-game absence caused by an injured ankle, and he will look to help Baylor's team begin its conference schedule strong. Back in 2025, he completed 160 passes for 1,754 yards and nine touchdowns across SEC matchups. Lagway will look to prove that he has cleaned up his turnover rate (9-12 TD-INT ratio last season) and efficiency for a Baylor team expecting him to break out of his previous funk.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to be available Week 4 Lagway (ankle) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against Colorado, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact After a two-game absence, Week 4 is projected to mark Lagway's return from an ankle injury. The junior will have little leeway in his return, as he and Baylor will prepare to begin their 2026 season's conference schedule. On the plus side, Lagway's only game this season saw him face Power Conference team Auburn and showcase some of his talent by completing 27 passes for 333 yards and one touchdown. Ideally for him, he can clean up his completion percentage and turnover rate (50.0 percent and two TOs respectively) as the campaign progresses.
